PREFACE 



In the preparation of this Gazetteer and the Map, which has occupied 
nearly three years, the principal object has been to present a work as 
complete and comprehensive as the present state of statistical and geo- 
graphical knowledge would admit, within the smallest practical size. To 
accomplish this design, and make it eminently practical as a book of 
reference, the principal places only are described in detail, and the de- 
scriptions are confined for the most part to matters which are permanent 
in their character. 

The great inconvenience attending large and expensive gazetteers, in 
a country undergoing such vast changes and improvements as ours, is, 
that much of the detail becomes in a very few years obsolete and use- 
less. The author has therefore preferred to substitute a larger number of 
places, and other matter of a less ephemeral nature. And the Gazetteer 
is offered as embracing several thousand more names than is to be found 
in any other single work of a similar character. Besides the usual places, 
all the post offices in the United States are given from the official list of 
the Post Master General up to the year 1837. 

Although intended to accompany the Map of the United States, yet 
the Map and Book are not necessarily connected — each being complete in 
itself, with the single exception of a few reference initial letters of towns 
and villages inserted oii the map, where it was impossible conveniently to 
give the names in full. The whole work taken separately, or with the 
Map, is particularly calculated for business men, as a complete geographi- 
cal reference. 

To obtain the latest information, the following letter was extensively 
circulated throughout the country, particularly in the western and 
southwestern sections. 

Dear Sir, 

Having been engaged about two years in the preparation of a 
large Map op the United States, the engraving of which is nearly fin- 
ished, to be accompanied with a complete RErERENCE Gazetteer;— and 
desirous of making them as perfect as the latest geographical knowledge 
of our country will admit, especially in reference to the increasing and 
flourishing states of the west and ?oulhvvesl:— I respectfully request 
your answer to the ioUowing questions, or either of them : 

1. Have any new counties been created in your neighbourhood or 



state within the last two years? — if so, give the names, boundaries, and 
population. 

2. What new towns, or townships — their situation, &c. ? 

3. What new villages — their situation, population, and distances from 
other neighboring villages'? 

4. What canals and railroads, or other internal improvements, have 
been projected or completed within the same period — with the places 
connected thereby? 

5. What new public or stage road has been established 7 — and please 
state, generally, such other information as may be interesting, concern- 
ing your section of the country. 

Reasonable compensation, to be agreed upon, will be cheerfully given 
for manuscript and other original documents and surveys, that may con 
tribute to the perfection of the Map and Gazetteer. 

Very respectfully yours, &c., 

William Chapin. 

This circular elicited many answers from gentlemen of intelligence 
in various sections of the country, with much local information in man- 
uscript and otherwise, for which the author owes many obligations. 

It is not expected that this work is free from errors. It would be im- 
possible from its difficult and complicated nature to be perfect. But no 
labor nor expense has been spared to make it as correct and acceptable 
to the public as possible. 

New York, June, 1838. 



GENERAL VIEW OF THE UNITED STATES. 



As many of the principal details will be presented in the descriptions of the seve- 
ral states, in their appropriate places, it is not thought necessary to give them here. 
This article will therefore be confined to a more general view of the United States 
and the territories, and to such particulars as cannot be so well embraced in any 
other place. 

BOUNDARIES AND EXTENT. 

The territory of the United States is bounded on the N. by the British and Rus- 
sian possessions ; on the E. by N. Brunswick and the Atlantic Ocean; on the S. by 
the Gulf of Mexico; and on the W. by the Pacific Ocean. Its general length fi. 
and W. is 3000 miles; its breadth N. and S., from the Lake of the Woods to the S. 
point of Florida, is 1700 miles. Commencing at Passamaquoddy Bay, and tra- 
cing the whole outline of the U. S., we have the following result: — 

Miles. 
From Passamaquoddy Bay to the S. end of Florida 1900 

From the S. end of Florida to the ii(louth of Sabine river 1300 

From the mouth of the Sabine along the southern boundary to the 

Pacific Ocean 2500 

Along the Pacific coast to the N. W. corner 900 

From the N. W. corner, along the northern boundary to Passama- 
quoddy Bay 3600 



Entire outline 10,200 miles. 



HISTORY. 



The settlement and early history of each state are given in their respective places. 
The first settlement by the English was in 1607. From that period to 1775, the col- 
onies were under the government of Great Britain. On the 4th of July, 1776, the 
American Congress at Philadelphia, composed of the Delegates from the 13 original 
states, declared their Independence. These states united under articles of Confed- 
eration in Nov. 15, 1777, and continued under them through the struggle of the 
Revolution, and until the year 1787, when the present Constitution (since amended) 
was adopted. The 13 states which adopted the Constitution were New Hampshire, 
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, N. Carolina, S. Carolina, and Georgia. 

The original cause of the disaffection of the colonies towards Great Britain was 
her attempt to tax them without their consent or representation in the British Parlia- 
ment. The effects were more openly manifested, on the imposition of the Stamp 
Act in 1765, and in the duty on tea. The Colonists determined to resist the importa- 
tion of teas under this duty. Accordingly, a number of persons collected together, 
and proceeded to some ships that lay at the Boston wharves, and threw their car- 
goes of tea overboard. The British ministry determined to punish this aggression 
by shutting up the port of Boston, and garrisoning the town with troops. The 
exasperation of the people on this intelligence led to a Congress of delegates of 
the Colonies, who assembled in Philadelphia to consider the best means of redress. 
At this momentous period the battle of Lexington was fought between the British 
troops and the undisciplined and half-armed inhabitants, near Boston. This was 
the first blood that was spilt — and the effect throughout the country was electric. 
It was a signal for a general burst of indignation, and a determination to resist. 
The war of the Revolution followed, which gave birth to a nation, and established 



45 GENERAL VIEW OF THE 

those principles of civil and religious liberty which elevate man to the just standard 
of his natural rights. After a long and arduous struggle, in which every privation, 
hardship, and sacrifice, was endured by the American armies and people, and the 
wisdom, fortitude, and perseverance of Washington were so signally exemplified ; — 
the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, put an end to the war. 
In 1783, a treaty of peace was signed, by which Great Britain acknowledged the 
Independence of the United States. 

SURFACE AND CLIMATE. 

The vast territory of the U. States presents a great variety of surface, with two 

Sreat ranges of mountains stretching generally in a northeasterly and southwesterly 
irection, and dividing the country mto three unequal divisions. The Rocky Moun- 
tains are the highest, and connect with the Cordilleras Range of Mexico ; commen- 
cing at the Isthmus of Darien, and reaching to the Arctic Ocean, a distance of 5000 
miles. The other principal range is the Appalachian, including the Alleghany 
Mountains, which reaches along the Atlantic states about 1800 miles. The lesser 
ranges are the Green, Ozark, and White Mountains. 

There is a great diversity in the climate, from the extreme cold of the northern 
winters to the bland and mild perpetual summers of the south. There are also great 
and sudden changes in the temperature of the weather. The climate has much im- 
proved since the early settlement of the country, and will probably undergo still further 
changes for the belter. But it is generally healthy, except in some of the southern 
states in the summer months. 

SOIL AND PRODUCTIONS. 

While the country presents the greatest variety of soil, it abounds in vast tracts 
of inexhaustible fertility, particularly in the south and west. The Atlantic border, 
and the N. England states generally, are in a high state of cultivation, but are less 
productive in grain than the country west of the Alleghanies. More particular de- 
scriptions of the soil are given under the heads of the respective states. 

The productions of the country are almost as various as the soil. The great sta- 
ples are cotton, wheat, rye, Indian corn, sugar, rice, tobacco, and wool. All kinds 
of vegetables, and nearly every description of fruits, are produced in the greatest 
abundance. There is perhaps no country in the world so bountifully blessed by the 
Creator with the necessaries of life, and the means of universal happiness. 

LAKES, RIVERS, BAYS, &c. 

The principal lakes are Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, Ontario, St. Clair, and 
Champlain. 

The principal rivers are the Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Columbia or Ore- 
gon, Red, Kanzas, Lewis, Clark, Yellow Stone, Canadian, Ohio, Tennessee, Ala- 
bama, Appalachicola, Connecticut, Des Moines, Cumberland, James, Gt. Pedee, 
Illinois, Multomah, Mobile, Susquehannah, Platte, Wabash, St. Peters, Washita, 
White, Tombigbee, Big Horn, St. Johns, Sabine, Roanoke, Potomac, Penobscot, 
Pearl, Osage, Kentucky, Hudson, Wisconsin, Green, Gt. Kannawha, Delaware, 
Coosa, Chaltahooche, Cape Fear, Alleghany, and Altamaha. 

The principal bays are the Chesapeake, Delaware, New York, Massachusetts, 
Cape Cod, Narragansett, Penobscot, Passainaquoddy, Buzzards, Mobile, Pensacola, 
Tampa, and Appalachicola. 

The principal sounds are Long Island, Albemarle, and Pamlico. 

The most prominent capes are Cape Ann, Cod, May, Henlopen, Charles, Henry, 
Hatteras, Look Out, Fear, Canaveral, Florida, Sable, St. Bias, Sandy Hook, and 
Montauk Pt. 

MINERALS. 

Gold is found in N. Carolina, S. Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia. Iron abounds 
in nearly every slate in the Union. Extensive coal beds are found abundantly in 
several states, but are worked chiefly in Pennsylvania. Lead is found in great abun- 
dance; the greatest supply of which is received from the mines of Missouri. Salt 
springs and lakes abound in various parts of the U. States. Those in N. York 
produce annually a large supply of salt. ,

AGRICULTURE. 

Of the great staples, already mentioned, cotton holds a distinguished place, 
1789, but one million pounds of cotton were raised in the U. States.

MANUFACTURES. 

The value of manufactures of the U. States, in 1810, was estimated at S172,762, 
876, In ]H36, the value is estimated at $600,000,000. In Massachusetts alone at 
$100,000,000; The great depression of the times has materially diminished this 
amount for the year 1837. Two thirds of the clothing worn by the agricultural 
population in the Eastern, Middle, and Western States, are the products of domestic 
manufacture. The greatest amount of any single manufacture is from cotton, which 
reached in 1835 to near 100 millions of pounds; — valued at 48 millions of dollars. 
85 millions of dollars are invested in cotton manufactures — and it is estimated that 
the capital vested in all the manufactories of the U. States is about 1000 millions of 
dollars. 

COMMERCE. 

The commerce of the U. States is second only to that of Great Britain. The fol- 
lowing table of the value of imports and exports for several periods, exhibits the 
increase since 1790.

Tn 1837, the imports amounted to $140,852,980, being $49,127,055 less than the 
preceding year. The exports for 1837, amounted to $116,906,060, of which 
$95,183,199 were domestic, and $21,722,861 foreign goods. The exports were less 
than the preceding year, by $11,733,481 domestic, and $23,499 foreign. 

The total amount of American tonnage in 1836, was 1,369,580— of which 404,814 
belonged to N. York ; 226,779 to Boston ; 91,905 to Philadelphia; 81,710 to N. Or- 
leans; 81,252 to N. Bedford ; and 62,365 to Baltimore. 

FISHERIES. 

Nearly all the fisheries are carried on from the N. England states. The most im- 
portant are the cod fishery, whale, raackeral, and herring. The value of fish, 
oil, and sperm candles, exported for the year ending Sept. 30, 1836, was $2,666,058; 



GENERAL VIEW OF THE 



PUBLIC LANDS. 



These lands consist of territory that belonged to the U. States at the time of their 
independence, of tracts ceded to the General Government by the several states, and 
of lands acquired by treaty or purchase. A large quantity of this land is occupied 
by Indians, who are considered the proprietors until their title is extinguished by 
purchase. Much difficulty existed after the Revolution in adjusting the various 
conflicting claims of several of the stales to the large region of territory lying west 
and northwest of Ohio river. They were finally settled, however, by the states of 
N. York, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, ceding their claims to the Gren- 
eral Government. Connecticut retained a portion of the territory (called the Con- 
necticut Reserve, now belonging to Ohio) until 1800, from which was laid the 
foundation of her School Fund. 

Out of the above territory, the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and 
the Ter. of Wisconsin were formed. S. Carolina relinquished her claims in 1787 ; 
N. Carolina, in 1789, to the territory now forming the state of Tennessee ; and 
finally, in 1802, Georgia ceded to the Greneral Government the region now forming 
the stales of Alabama and Mississppi. The vast tract west of the Mississippi, 
and extending to the Pacific Ocean, comprehended under the name of Louisiana, 
was purchased of France, in 1803, for 15,000,000 dollars ; and Florida, of Spain, 
in 1819. 

In 1800, Congress passed an act to provide for the survey and sale of the public 
lands, which was the foundation of the present system. In 1812, the Land Office 
was established. Surveys are made by contract, under the direction of the General 
Land Office, through the Surveyor General. 

The public sales of land are made by auction ; but large quantities are sold by 
private entry. Settlers who have already occupied land without a legal title, are 
entitled to a pre-emption right of purchase. 

The public lands are divided into Districts, in each of which is a Land Office, 
under the superintendence of a Register of the Land Office, and a Receiver of Pub- 
lic Monies. 

The surveys are based upon a series of true meridians, and all the surveys are 
made to correspond with these lines. The land is divided into townships, 6 miles 
square, and these into 36 sections, of one square mile each, or 640 acres. These sec- 
tions are subdivided into qiuirier sections, of 160 acres each, and half-quarter sec- 
tions, of 80 acres each. 

Previous to 1820, the sales were on credit, and the minimum price was $2 00 
per acre. But the speculations and difficulties arising from credit sales, induced 
Congress in that year to pass an act, establishing all sales to be made for cash, and 
reducing the minimum price of the land to %\ 25 per acre, at which it still remains. 

As staled in the article Education, one section of 640 acres in each township is 
reserved for the support of common schools. Five per cent, also of the sales is re- 
served, three-fifths of which are to be expended by Congress in making roads in 
the state where the land is located, and the other two-fifths for the encouragement 
of learning. 

The total quantity of public lands surveyed up to Sept. 1, 1835, was 166,897,082 
acres ; the whole quantity sold was 44,499,620 acres ; the nelt payments into the 
treasury (after deducting expenses) $58,619,523. 

The following table exhibits the lands sold at certain periods, their annual aver- 
age, and the nett receipts into the treasury therefrom. 



In 10 years, from 1820 to 1830,

In 1836, the sales amounted to the extraordinary sum of $24,000,000; and in 1837 
they had fallen to $7,004,538. 

The population of the new states and territories, formed out of the public do- 
main, increased from 1800 to 1830, from less than 60,000 to more than 2,300,000, 
and since the latter period to 3,500,000 : embracing nine states — fiarnishing one third 
of the U. S. Senate, and one sixth of the members of the House of Representatives.

BANKS. 

The first bank which was established in this country was the Bank of North 
America. It owed its origin to the celebrated Robert Morris. It was first charter- 
ed by Congress at Philadelphia, in 1781. 

In 1792, there were 12banks ; in 1811, 89; in 1815, 208; in 1816,240; in 1820,608; 
in 1830, 330; in 1836, 567; on the 1st Jan.. 1837, 633; 1st July, 1837, 000.

The amount of specie in the U. States in 1833, was estimated by the Secretaiy 
of the Treasury at $29,000,000. In 1836, at $73,000,000. 

The first United States Bank was incorporated during Washington's administra- 
tion, in Feb. 1791. The term limited by the charter expired on the 4ih of March, 1811 
— Congress refusing to renew the charter. Its capital was 10,000.000, divided into 
25,000 shares of $400 each. Government held shares to the amount of $2,000,000. 

The late Bank of the U. States was chartered under Madison's administration, 
on the 10th of April, 1816, to continue for 20 years. Its capital was $35,000,000, 
of which government held $7,000,000. Its charter expired in 1836. Congress pre- 
viously passed an act renewing the charter, which was vetoed by Gen. Jackson. A 
new charter was then obtained of the state of Pennsylvania. 

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES. 

The revenue of the U. States is chiefly derived from customs and public lands. 
For the years 1833, 1834, 1835, 1836, the annual receipts averaged $34,713,000. 
The expenditures for the same years averaged, annually, $24,467,000, including a 
total of $7,740,000 on account of public debt. 

The siirplus reveniie i-emaining in the the treasury on the 1st January, 1837, (re- 
serving 5,000,000,) was $37,468,859. By an act of Congress, passed June 23, 1836, 
this surplus was directed to be deposited with the several states in quarterly instal- 
ments, according to the number of their electoral votes, to commence Jan. 1, 1837. 
The 1st, 2d, and 3d deposits were made; but the last instalment was postponed, by 
act of Congress, in consequence of the deficiency of the revenue, arising from the 
great com tnercial distress of 1837. The amount actually distributed was $28,101,645. 

The receipts for the year 1837 (including the issue of several millions in Treasury 
notes) amounted to $23,499,000. Expenditures $35,281,000. 

PUBLIC DEBT. 

The last of the public debt was paid in 1835 ; when the U. States presented the 
only example on earth of a government entirely free from debt. The public debt 
of the U. States originated in the struggle of the Revolution, and presented the 
largest amount about the close of the war in 1816 — being then $127,3^4,933. The 
following table exhibits the debt at different periods, from the close of the Revolu- 
tionary War to its final extinction.

10 GENERAL VIEW OF THE 

MINT. 
The Mint was established in Philadelphia in 1792. Branch mints have recently- 
been established at New Orleans, Charlotte, N. C, and Dahlonega, Ga. The total 
amount of coinage from 1792 to 1836 inclusive, is, of gold S2'2, 102,035; of silver 
$46,739,182; of copper $740,331 ;— total, il;69,581,548. For four years the coinage 
was as follows: 

In*1833, value $3,765,710 I In 1835, value $5,668,667 

1834, " 7,388,423 | 1836, " 7,764,900 

In the preceding years, there was deposited in gold for coinage from the U. States 
ines, $2,931,500, viz.: In 1833, $868,iX)0; in 1834, $898,000 ; in 1835, $698,500 ;

1836, $467,000 



ARMY. 



From the peculiar position of the U. States in regard to foreign powers, and 
the genius and economy of her republican institutions, it has not been thought ne- 
cessary, nor politic, to sustain a large standing army. According to official re- 
ports the regular army, on the 30th Nov., 1836, amounted to 7,958, organized as 
follows: 



General Staff 14 

Medical Department 76 

Pay department 18 

Purchasing Department 3 

Corps of Engmeers 22 



Topographical Department 10 

Ordnance Department 308 

Two Regiments of Dragoons 1,498 

Four Regiments of Artillery 2,180 

Seven Regiments of Infantry 3,829 



Total 7,958 

There are two great Military Divisions, divided by a line commencing at the 
mouth of the Mississippi, following up that river to Cassville, in Wisconsin Ter- 
ritory, thence north to the boundary line between the U. States and Canada. All 
west of that line is called the Western Division ; and all east of it, the Eastern Di- 
vision. 

The total number of militia in the U. States, as given in an official report, dated 
Nov., 1836, is 1,326, 821. The militia comprises all able bodied white males be- 
tween the ages of 18 and 45; and. when call^ into actual service, they receive th» 
same pay as the army. 

NAVY. 

The American navy, though small in point of numbers, is formidable in itai 
power, and very efficient in its organization and discipline. It consisted in 1837^ 
finished and on the stocks, of 

11 ships of 74* guns. 2 ships of 24 guns. 

1 do. 64 " 
14 do. 44 " 

2 do. 36 " 

Total 49 

And several smaller vessels. 

The navy contains 50 Captains ; 48 Masters Commandant ; 296 Lieutenants; 
50 Surgeons; 14 Passed Assistant Surgeons ; 43 Assistant Surgeons ; 41 Pursers; 
9 Chaplains; 198 Passed Midshipmen; 256 Midshipmen ; 27 SaiUng Masters; 
19 Boatswains; 20 Gunners; 19 Carpenters ; 19 Sail Makers. 

POST OFFICE. 

The first Post in the U. States was established in New York in 1710. In 1789, 
at the adoption of the Federal Constitution, the whole management of the Posts 
was conferred on Congress. There were then only 75 post offices in the U. States 
—there are now (1838) about 12,.300. 

The following table will exhibit the extraordinary increase of this department 
and also the rapid growth of the country.

offence pay five hundred dollars. 

RELIGION. 

The Constitution of the U. States declares that Congress shall make no law re- 
specting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The 



12 



GENERAL VIEW OF THE 



same principle prevails in the several states. The support of religion is entirely 
voluntary throughout the U. States. And its happy tendency, so consistent with 
the mild spirit of the gospel, is everywhere manifest. A provision existed in Mas- 
sachusetts, by which the Legislature might require the towns to support the Protest- 
ant religion. But this was done away ni 1833. Nor is it possible that any church 
and state establishment can ever be formed in the U. States : for if tiie improbable desire 
for such a union should ever arise in any one denomination, there would be at least 
two thirds, comprehending all other denominations, united to oppose it ; — without 
including a large portion of the community not connected with any sect. 

But while every individual is left entirely free in the choice of his religion, or in 
its support, and the law no where enjoins it as an obligation, it is a happy evi- 
dence of the prevailing public sentiment, that the Constitutions of the several states 
recognize the moral obligations and duties of the Christian religion, and extend 
their protection over its full enjoyment and exercise. 

The following summary exhibits in round numbers, dropping fractions, the num- 
ber of churches, ministers, and communicants, in the U. States in 1836. 

Churches or Societies, 21,670 ; ministers, 16,000 ; communicants, 2,200,000. Of 
these there were

All other denominations have about 300 societies or churches. There are esti- 
mated to be over 700,000 Catholics in the United States, who increase principally by 
emigration from foreign countries. The proportion of the Catholic to the Protestant 
population is as one to eighteen. 



EDUCATION. 

The general diffusion of knowledge has always been considered of great import- 
ance in a popular government. The U. States present an example of a free people 
acting upon the principle, with slight exceptions, of universal suffrage. Every 
white male citizen above 21 years of age, in most of the states, has a voice in the 
choice of his rulers ; which implies that every such citizen should be capable, to a 
reasonable extent, of exercising that right with judgment and discretion. This 
cannot be expected without a proper attention to the education of the whole mass of 
the people. Nor can any republican institutions be safe without it. 

The suhiect, of popular education, therefore, has early received the favorable at- 
tention of several of the states, particularly the N. England states and N. York; 
and now this attention is becoming more general and decided. Other states are 
awakening up to its importance. Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan, have estab- 
lished excellent systems; and the gratifying prospect is presented, that in a short 
time every state in the Union will have an effiicient common school system, which 
will embrace all the children of the land, under a course of good sound education. 

The General Government of the U. States does nothing in aid of public instruc- 
tion, except to reserve for that purpose one. section of the public land in every town- 
ship, being jg part, or one mile square, — and also certain reservations for colleges. 
These appropriations for common schools have already amounted to near nine mil- 
lions of acres ; and for colleges and academies to near fire hundred thousand, acres. 
To the states, respectively, belong the duly of providing in a special manner for the 
education of the young ; and these particular efforts will be noticed under the heads 
of the individual states. 



UNITED STATES. 13 

The number of colleges founded in the U. Slates, up to 1838, is 98, but several of 
them have not yet gone into operation. The number of volumes in the college li- 
braries, 280,000; the number in the students libraries, 120,000; total, 400,000. 

The whole number of Instructors is 750 

The whole number of Alumni 26,470 

The whole number of Students, in 1837, 9,250 

Of the above Alumni, 5,-321 were graduates of Harvard University, Mas.; 4,485 
of Yale College, Ct. ; 2,183 of Princeton College, N. J.; 1,858 of Dartmouth Col- 
lege, N. H. ; 1,700 of Columbia College, N. Y. ; 1,600 of Union College, Schenec- 
tady ; and 1,253 of Brown University, R. I. 

Tliere are thirty theological seminaries in the U. States and five theological de- 
partments connected with other colleges. 

The number of Professors in 1837 was 84 

The number of Theological Students 1,057 

The number of volumes in library 72,500 

According to the "Catholic Almanac" for 1837, the Catholics have 13 colleges; 
12 ecclesiastical seminaries ; 23 female religious institutions ; 37 female academies; 
and 37 charitable institutions. 

The Catholic ecclesiastical seminaries contain 84 students. The whole number 
of Catholic colleges is thirteen. In eight of these (the number organized in 1837) 
there were, instructors 130; students 995 ; volumes in libraries 50,000 ; whole num- 
ber of Alumni, 394. 

There are 26 medical schools in the U. States, numbering 141 professors and 
2,460 students. 

PUBLIC LIBRARIES. 

In a report to the Senate of the U. States, in 1836, by Mr. Preston of S. C, on 
the expediency of purchasing the library of the late Count Boutourlin at Florence, 
for the library of Congress, — it is stated that all the libraries in the U. States 
amount to about 400,000 volumes: of these there are 50,000 distinct works. Other, 
and more recent authorities, founded upon particular examinations, give the num- 
ber as between 700,000 and 800,000 volumes, which is probably correct. 

After the destruction of the library of Congress by the British in August, 1814, 
Government purchased Mr. Jefferson's library, consisting of 6,484 volumes for 
S23,950. Since which, additional sums have been appropriated, making a total, 
since 1814, of if99,950. The whole number of volumes in the library is 24,600. 

Of the other public libraries in the U. States, the following are the largest: 

Philadelphia, 44,000 vols. I Boston Atheneum, 29,000 vols. 

Cambridge University, 42,000 | New York City, 25,000 

Among other respectable libraries, the following deserve particular notice: 
Charleston, S. C. ; Andover Theol. Sem. ; Antiquarian Society, Worcester; N. 
York Mercantile ; N. York Apprentices ; Baltimore and Georgetown College; aver- 
aging about 12,000 volumes each. 

Although the libraries of the U. States are small compared with the magnificent 
collections in Europe, which amount to an aggregate of 19,850 000 volumes — (the 
Paris Royal containing 700,000 ; Munich, 556,000; London, 244,000 volumes,)— yet 
when the age of the country is considered, and that libraries are always of slow 
growth, their number and extent are certainly respectable. 

GOVERNMENT. 

The Government of the U. States is that of a confederated republic, in which all 
power belongs to the people. The legislative power is vested in a Congress, com- 
posed of a Senate and House of Representatives. The Senate consists of two mem- 
bers from each state, chosen by the legislatures, respectively, for a period of six 
years. The terms of service are so arranged, that one third of the whole Senate 
IS renewed every two years. 

Every Senator must be at least 30 years of age, and have been 9 years a citizen. 
The present number of Senators is 52. 



14 GENERAL VIEW OP THE 

The Senate has the sole power to try impeachments. The Vice President is 
President of the Senate, and has a casting vote only. 

The House of Representatives is composed of members elected in the several 
states by the peopb, for a term of two years. Each state is entitled, under a law 
vpassed in 1832, to send one Representative for every 47,700 inhabitants. The 
present number of members is 242, and two Delegates — one from Wisconsin, and 
one from Florida territory. 

Every Representative must be at least 25 years of age, and have been 7 years a 
citizen. 

The pay of each member of Congress, during the session, is $8 per day, and $8 
for every 20 miles' travel, to and from the seat of government. The compensation 
of the President of the Senate, pro lem., who is chosen in the absence of the Vice 
President, and of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is $16 a day. 

All bills for raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. 

No member of Congress cixi\ hold any office under the U. States at the same time. 

Congress have power to Liy and' collect taxes — provide for the common defence 
and general welfare — borrow money — regulate commerce with foreign nations, 
among the states, and with the Indian tribes — to establish uniform laws on natu- 
ralization and bankruptcies — to coin money, regulate its value, and fix the standard 
of weights and measures — to establish post offices and post roads — to grant patent 
and copy-rights — to constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court — to define 
and punish piracies and offences on the high seas, and against the law of nations — 
to declare war — grant letters of marque and reprisal — to raise and support armies 
— provide and maintain a navy — to provide for calling forth the militia to execute 
the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions— to provide for 
organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia (the states appointing the officers 
thereof) — to exercise exclusive legislation over the District of Columbia, forts, mag- 
azines, dock yards, &c., and to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into 
execution the powers vested by the constitution in the Government of the U. States, 
or in any department thereof. 

The Executive power is vested in a President, who is chosen for four years, by 
electors from from the different states, equal in number to the Senators and Repre- 
sentatives from each state. He must be a native citizen of the U. states, and not 
under 35 years of age. He is a commander nnd chief of the army and navy, and 
of the militia, when in actual service. His compensation is 5^'<i5,O00 a year. In case 
of his death, resignation, or inability to act, the Vice President acts as President. 

The President makes all treaties, wiih the concurrence of two thirds of the Sen- 
ate ; and appoints, with the consent of the Senate, ambassadors, judges of the Su- 
preme Court, and other officers, not otherwise appointed by law. He is eligible for 
re-election, but the example of Washington in retiring to private life after a second 
term, has established a precedent which has not since been departed from. The Presi- 
dent has a Cabinet, consisting of the heads of the different departments, viz., the Sec- 
retary of State, Treasury, War, Navy, Pootmaster General, and Attorney General, 

The judicial power of the U. States is vested in a Supreme Court, composed of a 
Chief Justice and six associates, which holds its session annually at Washington 
city, and a District Court in each state. There are also seven judicial Circuits, in 
each of which a Circuit Court is held twice a year for each state in the Circuit, by 
a Justice of the Supreme Court, and by a District Judge. 

The judges hold their offices during good behaviour. The Supreme Court has 
original jurisdiction in all cases relating to ambassadors and consuls — and appellate 
jurisdiction in all cases arising under the Constitution of the U. States — in all ad- 
miralty cases — in controversies between two states — two citizens of different states 
— and between a state, or its citizens, and a foreign state or its subjects. 

_ The state governments (26 in number) are founded upon the same general prin- 
ciples of popular rights that are adopted in the Constitution of the U. States. Each 
state has guaranteed to it a republican form of government, and the state constitu- 
tions do not essentially differ in their forms from that of the Federal Government. 

Each state is independent, and has exclusive legislation on all subjects not dele- 
gated to the General Government. Its whole domestic and local policy is, there- 
fore, by this admirable system, brought immediately under the control of its own 
citizens, through their representatives. 

The legislature of every state is now composed of two branches, Vermont hav- 
ing in 1836 established a Senate. 



UNITED states; 



15 



In 8 states, Senators are elected for 1 year ; in 4 states, for 2 years ; in 3 states, 
for 3 years ; in 10 states, for four years ; and 1 state, (Maryland,) for 5 years. In 
9 states. Representatives are elected for 2 years ; in all others, except Rhode Island, 
which elects semi-annually, they are elected annnally. 

Eight states elect their Governors for 1 year ; nine states, for 2 years ; four states, 
for 3 years ; and five, for 4 years. The Governors of the territories of Florida and 
Wisconsin are appointed by the President of the U. States and Senate. 

In all states, except N. Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and S. Carolina, the Gov- 
ernor is elected by the people. In Louisiana, the legislature chooses one from the 
two highest candidates voted for by the people. 

Further details of the state governments are given in the descriotion of the par- 
ticular states, in their proper places. 



POPULATION. 

The unexampled increase of population in the U. States, since the period of its 
independence, is a decisive evidence of its growing and substantial prosperity. The 
first actual enumeration of the inhabitants was made in 1790.

Alabama was organized as a Territo- 
rial government in 1817, and admitted 
into the Union as a state in 1820. 

The principal rivers are the Alabama, 
Cahawba, Choctaw, Conecuh, Coosa, 
Black Warrior, Tombigbee, Tallapoosa, 
Chattahoochee, Peidido and Mobile. 

Cotton is the great staple, but wheat, 
corn, rice, &c. are cultivated. 

The climate in the uplands is healthy 
and the summers pleasant. But on the 
lowlands and the neighborhood of the 
rivers it is unhealthy. 

About half of the surface of the state is 
composed of Pine Barrens which are 
thinly covered with trees and produce a 
coarse grass. This soil which is a red- 
dish clay, is favorable to the growth of 
wheat. In the north parts of the stale 
the soil- is generally very good. In the 
south much of it is low and swampy arid 
the soil thin. 

The principal town is Mobile, the 
ot'ier towns of the greatest importance are 
Blakely, St. Stephens, and Tuscaloosa, 
the capital of the state. 

The state has two colleges, the Univer- 
sity of Ala-bama, and La Grange College. 
There are also about 30 incorporated 
academies. 

The N. part of Alabama was formerly' 
included in Georgia, which was pur- 
chased by the U. S. and formed part of 
the Mississippi Territory. 

The Senate consists of 30 members 
elected for 3 ye.irs. The H. of Represent- 
atives of 91 members elected annually. 
Pay of the members S'4,00 per day. 

The principal internal improvements 
in this state recently finished, in progress 
or projected, are the Montgomery and 
Chattahonche R. R.76 m. long. Tiiscum- 
hia and Decatur R. R. 46 m. Florida, 
Alabama and Georgia R R. 110 m. to 
connect Columbus in Georgia with Pcn- 
sacola, Florida, through Alabama. Dait- 
tnwn and Greensborough R. R. 17 m. 
Mobile and Tennessee R. R. Benton and 
Haysville R. R. 18 m. and the Erie and 
Greensborough R. R. 

The Hunt si^ille Canal from HuntsviUe 
to Triana on the Ten. r. 16 m. long, and 
a canal frr m the head of Muscle Shoals 
to Florence 37 m. long. 

ALABAMA R. is formed by the 
Coosa and Tallapoosa and receives as a 
tributary the Cahawba from the north. 
Coosa the main constituent of the Alaba- 
ma, rises in Tennessee. The course of 
the Alabama from its union with the

about 22 m. bv 21, 462 sq. m. Pop. 1830, 
53,560; in 1835, 59,762. The soil is 
rich on the Hudson, but sandy and un-

ALBANY City, in Albany co. N. Y. 
the capital of the. state, on the W. side of 
the Hudson r. 145m.N. of N. Y. 165 m. 
W. of Boston ; 230 m. S. of Montreal, 
and 376 from Washington City. The 
Erie canal tprminates here after uniting 
with the Chatn])lain canal, and has great- 
ly added to the wealth and commercial 
importance of the place. Many steam- 
boats, sloops and canal boats are con- 
stantly employed during navigation in 
conveying freight and passengprs to and 
from N. Y. and the canals. Albany was 
settled by the Dutch in 1614, and is one 
of the oldest settlpments in the U. S. Its

10.744 ; 1820, 12 541 ; 1830, 24,238 ; 1835, 
28,109. Its public buildings and many 
of the churches are very beautiful, giving 
evidence of the taste and enterprise of the 
inh (bitanls. 

The Capitol is a substantial building 
standing on an plevation 130 f^et above 
the river, it is lib feet lonsr by 90 broad. 
Among other public buildings the most 
conspicuous and elegant are th<^ Academy, 
the City Hall, the Slate Hill, Albany 
Female Academy and Stanwix Hall. 

The city contains also several highly 
respecial)le scientific and literary institu- 
tions, private academies and select schools, 
and several excellent public schools, giv- 



ing every facility for the education of all 

the children.

ARKANSAS, one of the Uni- 
ted States, bounded N. by Missouri, E. 
by the Mississippi r. S. by Louisiana, 
and W. by Missouri Ter. Length from 
N. to S. 245 m. mean breadth 213 ; area 
about 52,185 m. Pop. 1833, 40,370; 1835, 
.58,134, of which about 6,000 are slaves, 

Arkansas was settled in 1685 ; orga- 
nized into a Territorial government in 
1819 ; and admitted as a slate into the 
Union in 1836. Arkansas is the principal 
river, the other important rivers are the 
White, Red, Waskila, Cache, and St. 
Francis. The eastern part of the state is 
level which gradually varies to the west- 
ward, v;here the Black ur Ozark Moun- 
tains pass through the state. The soil is 
fertile, and produces cotton, wheat, tobac- 
co, &c., with rich and extensive prairies. 
Iron, lead and coal are found, and abun- 
dance of salt. 

The shores of the Arkansas r. to Little 
Rock, are considered unhealthy. The 
level sections of the country are wet and 
not easily drained. But the great prairie 
and the smaller prairies in the upper parts 
of the country are more healthy. 

The Legislature meets every two years, 
and is composed of a Senate of 17 mem- 
bers, and a H. of Representatives of 54 
members. 

ARKANSAS County, Ark. on Ar- 
kansas r. Pop. 1830, 1,426 ; 1835, 2,080.

the Canadian r. which joins it west of 
the state, in lat. 35° long, 18° W. Steam- 
boats can ascend the r. in high water, 
about 200 m. Its whole course is about 
2,300 m. long.

BOSTON, the capital of Mas. Suffolk 
CO. — the fourth city in population in the 
U. States. It is situated on a peninsula, 
about 2j m. long, and 1 broad. It has a 
fine commodious harbor, and an extensive 
commerce. Massachusetts Bay on the E.

Boston is connected with the main land 
by several bridges, one of which, the 
Cambridge br. is near 3,500 feet long. It

in^-s, among which are the State House, 
Faneuil Hall, Faneuil Hall Market, 540 
feet long by 50 wide, Tremont House, 
Trinity Church, County Court House, 
Massachusetts Hospital, (fcc. 

The wharves and piers are very spa- 
cious, some of them from 1,250 to 1,650 
feet in length. Boston Common is a pub- 
lic square, near the State House, contain- 
ing 50 acres. 

Boston is distinguished for her literary 
institutions, and the literary spirit of her 
enterprising inhabitants. Her public 
schools and seminaries of learning rank 
her among the highest in the world for pro-

■West." It is not more distinguished for 
the enterprise and'munificence of its inha- 
bitants, than for their noble spirit in pro- 
moting the cause of learning and primary 
education. Besides several respectable 
colleges, institutes, lyceums, &c. the large 
and commodious buildings erected for 
common school instruction reflect the high- 
est credit upon the public spirit and bene- 
ficence of the inhabitants. 

Many of the public buildings are very 
beautiful ; among which the new edifice 
for the Franklin and Lafayette Banks, 
of the Grecian Doric order, resembling the 
United States Bank at Philadelphia, stands 
-conspicuous. The spacious Court House 
and United States Branch Bank building 
deserve also to be noticed. There are also 
many fine churches, 4 market houses, col- 
lege and literary buildings, and several 
elegant hotels. 

The commercial and manufacturing im- 
portance of this place is very great. The 
exports for 183-2 were estimated at S4,000,- 
■000, and for 1836 at S5,000,000. A large 
number of steam engines are in operation, 
in cotton and various other manufactories. 
Various rail-roads, canals, and turnpike 
roads, projected or in a course of construc- 
tion, are expected to add still greater fa- 
cilities of trade and wealth to this flour- 
ishing emporium. 

The following account of its populatior

OOUETECTICUTjoneofthe 
United States, is bounded N. by Massa- 
chusetts ; E. by Rhode Island; S. by 
Long Island Sound ; and W. by New 
York. Its mean length from E. to W. is 
about 88 m. Its mean breadth from N. to 
S. 58 m. containing about 5,100 square m. 

It has several ranges of mountains, 
which, however, are not of much eleva- 
tion. The general face of the country is 
varied by moderate undulations of hill 
and valley. The valleys generally are 
very rich. The E. part of the state par- 
ticularly, contains strong and rich soil — 
the NW. portion is indifterent. The cli- 
mate is remarkably healthy. 

The principal rivers are the Connecti- 
cut, the Housatonic, and the Thames. 

The principal cities and villages are 
Hartford, and New Haven, the two state 
capitals, — New London, Middletown, 
Norwich, Wethersfield, and Windsor. 

The chief agricultural productions are 
corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, 
&c. There are fine meadows and pasture 
land, on which many sheep and other 
stock are raised. Silk is also raised in 
considerable quantities. 

There are many manufactories of cot- 
ton, paper, leather, iron, &c. in a flourish- 
ing condition, and there is a considerable 
coasting trade with New York, Boston, 
and elsewhere. 

There are two colleges in the state —

COO 



Yale College at New Haven, which is the 
oldest in the United States, founded in 
1701— and Washington College, at Hart- 
ford, founded in 1826. The Asylum for 
the Deaf and Dumb at Hartford was the 
first of the kind established in the United 
States. 

The number of manufactories in 1830, 
was l,'21-2 ; mills, 1,597 ; dwelling houses, 
41,416; cattle, 219,800; sheep, 331,054; 
acres of land, 2,607,81J9. 

A common school system is established, 
and extending a good influence over thou- 
sands of children ; but here, as in other 
states, the people too much overlook the 
great claims of these primai-y schools. 
The school fund is about ,4*^2,000,000. 

Liternal improvements completed and 
in progress, are as follows: The New 
York, Providence 4* Boston Rail Road, 
extending from Stonington to Providence, 
R. I. 47 m. ; and the Worcester if- Nor- 
ivich Rail Road, 48 m. ; and the Hartford 
<f- New Haven Rail Road. 

The Farmington Canal, 54 m. long, 
from New Haven to the Massachusetts 
state line, uniting with the Hampshire & 
Hampden Canal, which reaches to North- 
ampton, 22 m.; and the Enfield Canal, 
bk m. long, round Enfield Falls, in Con- 
necticut r. 

The population of the state in 1810, was 
261,942; 1820,275.248; 1830,297,675. 

CONNECTICUT Lake, in the N. 
part of N. H. the source of the main 
branch of Connecticut r. is 6 m. long by 
2i broad. 

CONNECTICUT R. the principal r. 
in the New England states, arises in the 
N. extremity of N. H. and forms the 
boundary between that slate and Vt. It 
is about 400 m. long. It is navigable for 
steamboats and vessels drawing 8 feet, to 
Hartford, 50 m. from its mouth — but 
smaller boats proceed up about 280 m. 
It has several fills, which have been over- 
come by means of locks and dams ; of 
these. Bellows Falls is the most remarka- 
ble. Tliere are many beautiful villages 
upon its bordprs.

DELAWARE County, SE. part of 
N. Y. Watered by Delaware r. — hilly. 
Pop. 1830. 33,024. Delhi, c. t. 

DELAWARE R. a large and impor- 
tant r. rises in the state of New York, 
Schoharie co. in the Cattskill Mountains, 
forms part of the boundary between N. 



Y. and Pa. and between Pa. and N. J, 
and flows into Delaware Bay. It is about 
300 m. long, and navigable for the largest 
vessels to Philadelphia, and for steam 
boats to Trenton Falls, 35 m. further. 

DELAWARE Bay, between the states 
of Delaware and New Jersey, near 20 m. 
wide at its mouth, from Cape May to 
Cape Henlopen. Within the latter cape, 
a breakwater is constructed, forming a 
safe artificial harbor for vessels in stormy 
weather. 

DHZiA'WARi:, one of the 
United States, bounded N. by Pennsyl- 
vania; E. by Delaware r. and Bay, and 
the Atlantic ; and S. and W. by Mary- 
land. It is 93 m. long — mean breadth 22 
m. Area, 2,110 square m. or about 1,350,- 
000 acres. 

The general surface of the country is 
level. The soil is a rich clay in the nor- 
thern parts of the state, and along the Dela- 
ware r. but in the extreme N. it is stony, 
and becomes sandy on the sea coast. The 
climate is mild and healthy. 

Wheat is the principal production, from 
which very beautiful white flour is pro- 
duced. Corn, rye, barley, and flax are 
also raised in considerable quantities. 

There are several important manufac- 
tories of cotton, wool, paper, and gun- 
powder in the neighborhood of Wilming- 
ton, and some of the largest grist mills in 
the country. 

The principal towns are Wilmington, 
Dover, the state capital, and Newcastle. 

The principal rivers are the Brandy- 
wine and Christiana crs. which unite and 
fall into the Delaware below Wilming- 
ton. 

The state is divided into three counties, 
which are subdivided into 24 hundreds. 

Delaware has no college, but some very 
respectable private academies, and a sys- 
tem of common schools, supported by the 
interest of a fund, and a tax of equal 
amount raised in the school districts. 

The state was first settled at Fort Chris- 
tiana, on the creek of that name, by the 
Swedes and Finns in 1G27. In 1655 the 
colony was taken by the Dutch of New 
York ; and after the conquest of New 
York by the English, in 16G4, it was an- 
nexed to that colony. In 1682, it was 
granted, with Pennsylvania, to William 
Penn. The colonies were separated in 
1701, but remained under one governor 
until 1776, when Delaware adopted a new 
constitution. 

Internal Improvements. — The Chesa- 
peake tj- Delaware Canal connects Dela- 
ware r. with the head of Chesapeake Bay, 
and lies principally in this state. It is 13f 



DEL 81 

m. long, 66 feet wide at the top, and 10 
feet deep. It was commenced in 18'24, 
and finished in 1829, at a cost of $2,200,- 
OOO. 

The Newcastle 4" Frenchtown Rail 
Road, extends from Newcastle, on the 
Delaware r. to Frenchtown, on Elk r. It 
is 16 1-5 m. lono^ — was finished in 1832, 
and cost $400,000. 

The Wilmington <^ Susqiie/uinnah Rail 
Road, extends from Wihnington to the 
Susquehannah, opposite Havre de Grace, 
and forms part of the line of rail road 
communication between Philadelphia and 
Baltimore. (See Maryland.)

EVERGLADES, of Florida. A letter 
from an officer in the Florida army thus 
writes of this comparatively unknown 
region : " At this season, (dated Fort 
"Brooke, December, 1837,) the appearance 
of the everglades is like that of a bound- 
less field of wheat in the harvest season. 
A species of grass, about five feet in 
height, covers the earth, and extends be- 
low the horizon. The country is perfect- 
ly level ; and the winds, which are al- 
ways blowing, wave the grass like a 
troubled sea. JN^ear Fort Gardiner, which 
is seventy miles due east from here, there 
are strips of hammock land, and when 
the surface rises a little, of pine barren; 
but the Indians state, that in the lower 
part of the country the prairie land 
stretches to the horizon all around you, 
except here and there a few spots of wood 
called Islands. It is the general impres- 
sion that these everglades are uninhabit- 
able during the summer months, by rea- 
son of their being overflowed by the abun- 
dant rains of that season ; but if it should 
prove that these inundations are caused 
or increased by obstructions to the natural 
courses of the rivers, as outlets to the nu- 
merous lakes, American industry will re- 
move these obstructions."

FLORIDA, the SE. Territory 
of the United States, bounded N. by 
Georffia and Alabama, E. by the Atlan-

PLO 



part of Alabama. It is usually divided, 
in describing it, into East and West Flori- 
da. Length, 360 m. — breadth, 150 m. 

The surface of the country generally is 
flat, and a great portion of the soil in the 
peninsula is wet, swampy and unfit for 
cultivation. 

In other parts there is a rich, produc- 
tive soil, and many excellent forests of 
live oak and other timber. 

The climate is hot and unhealthy, ex- 
cept between the months of October and 
June, when it is very pleasant and healthy. 
Florida was discovered by Ponce de 
Leon, a Spaniard, in 1512, and settled by 
the Spaniards in 1524, who were long and 
obstinately opposed by the native Indians. 
The country was subdued by De Soto, in 
1539. In 1763, it was ceded by Spain to 
Great Britain, in exchange for Havanna. 
The Spaniards re-conquered it in 1781, 
since which they held it until it was ceded 
by Spain to the United States, in 1821. 

Florida has been remarkable since that 
period for two wars with the Seminoles. 
The first broke out in 1818, and was soon 
brought to a close by Gen. Jackson. The 
second war has been more obstinate and 
bloody. 

Tallahassee, in W. Florida, is the seat 
of government. The other principal towns 
are St. Augustine and Pensacola. 

The principal rivers are the St. Mary's, 
St. John's, the Suwanee, the Apalachi- 
cola and the Withlacouchee.

GEORGIA, one of the United 
States, bounded N. by Tennessee and N. 
Carolina, E. by South Carolina and the 
Atlantic Ocean, S. by Florida, and W. 
by Alabama. Its length N. to S. is about 
280 m.— breadth 250— square m. 58,500. 

On the margin of the rivers and on the 
sea coast, the country is generally low 
and marshy. The pine barrens extend 
60 or 80 m. from the sea, beyond which 
the country rises and undulates, with con- 
siderable elevations. In the interior the 
land is strong and productive, and well 
adapted to the cultivation of cotton, rice 



and tobacco. Oranges, limes and figs are 
also raised abundantly. 

Considerable gold has been found in 
the neighborhood of the Blue Ridge. 

The climate is very healthy in winter, 
but hot and subject to fevers in the sum- 
mer season. 

The chief cities and towns are Savan- 
nah, Augusta, and Milledgeville, the cap- 
ital. 

The university is situated at Athens, 
and has a library of about 5,000 volumes. 
There are over 100 schools in the state, 
with a fund of S500,000 for their support. 

Until recently, a large portion of the 
NW. section of the state was occupied by 
the Cherokee Indians, and of the W. part 
by the Creeks, who have recently been 
removed to the lands assigned them by 
the United States W. of Arkansas. 

The principal rivers are the Savannah, 
the Altamaha, the Great Ogeechee, the 
Chatahoochee, the Ockmulgee, the Oconee, 
St. Mary's and Flint. 

Georgia was the last settled of the At- 
lantic states. In 1732, James Oglethorpe 
and a body of emigrants founded Savan- 
nah. A representative assembly was first 
established in 1 755. Previous to the revo- 
lution, the colonists were frequently har- 
rassed by the Indians, and during the 
revolution the country was often overrun 
by the British. 

Pop. 1790, 82,548 ; 1800, 162,686; 1810, 
252,433; 1820,348,989; 1830, 516,823, of 
whom 217,530 were slaves.

IML 



After the revolution, the country was held 
by the state of Virginia, and ceded by 
that state to the United States in 1787. 
When the territory now forming the state 
of Ohio was set apart, Indiana and Illi- 
nois were united. In 1809, they were or- 
ganized into two distinct territories ; and 
in 1818, Illinois was admitted as a state 
into the Union. 

The surface of the state is generally 
level, with a little inclination, and gently 
undulating. In the southern part it is 
more hilly, but without any consider- 
able elevations. The soil of a great por- 
tion of the state is extremely rich, and 
has gained for it from some travellers the 
appellation of the garden of America. 
There are, however, some extensive plains 
and prairies, which are scarce of timber 
and pure water. Some of them are for a 
portion of the year inundated with water. 
But in general, these rich prairies are sus- 
ceptible of being drained at small expense, 
■which will undoubtedly take place as the 
population becomes more dense, and 
which win remove the danger of sickness 
produced in such neighborhood by the 
miasmi arising from the ponds and 
swamps. Much of the prairie land is 
quite dry. The "bottom" lands, which 
are flooded at times, but on which the wa- 
ters do not stand, are inexhaustible in 
fertility — the soil reaching to a depth of 
20 or '30 feet. 

The principal productions are jvheat 
and maize, or Indian corn ; but other 
grains, and also cotton, hemp and tobacco, 
can be raised. Vegetables can be produ- 
ced abundantly. Over seventy millions 
of pounds of lead have been produced 
from 1821 to 183.5, yielding to the U. S. 
government six million pounds. 

The population of the state has increas- 
ed very rapidly. In 1810, it was 12,-282; 
1820, 55,211 ; 1830, 157,575; and in 1835, 
according to the state census, it was 
285,799. 

Principal rivers — Illinois, Rock, Kas- 
kaskia, Sangamon, Little Wabash, Fox 
and Kankakee. 

Vandalia is the capital of the state. 

Internal ImproreviC7its.-^ The state has 
commenced an extensive system of inter- 
nal improvements. At the sessio/i of the 
• Legislature in 1837, an act was passed 
appointing a Board of Commissioners of 
Public Works, and appropriations to the 
amount of S9,()00,000 were authorized for 
various improvements, some of which are 
as follows: A rail mad from Cairo, near 
the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi 
rs. by way of Vandalia and Decatur, to 
a point at or near the S, termination of 



the Illinois and Michigan Canal, and 
thence to Galena, S'3,500,000. A rail road 
from Cluincy, on the Mississippi r. by 
way of Columbus, Meredosia, in Morgan 
CO. Springfield, Sangamon co. Danville, 
in Vermilion co. to the state line, towards 
Lafayette, la. Sl,850,000. A rail road 
from Alton to Mount Carmel. A rail 
road ft-om Alton to Shawneetown, to di- 
verge from the former at Edwardsville. 
A rail road from Peoria to Warsaw, on 
the Mississippi r. * 

A branch of the Central Rail Road, at 
a point on a line from Shelby ville, Shelby 
CO. to Hillsboro', via Charleston, Coles 
CO. and Paris to the Indiana state line, in 
the direction of Terre Haute. 

A rail road from Lower Alton, via 
Hillsboro', to the Central Rail Road, to 
intersect the former rail road to Terre 
Haute. 

A rail road from Bloomingfon, McLean 
CO. to Mackinaw t. Tazewell co. with a 
branch to Illinois r. to connect with the 
Peoria and Warsaw Rail Road, and an- 
other branch to Pekin. 

A rail road from Belleville, by vi^ay of 
Lebanon, to intersect the rail road from 
Alton to Mount Carmel. 

Besides these, there are several rail 
roads undertaken by private companies; 
among which are, a rail road from Jack- 
sonville to Augusta, 22 m.; a rail road 
from Chicago to Des Plaines, 12 m. : a 
rail road from St. Louis to the coal mines 
at Bluffs, 6 m. ; a rail road from Naples 
to Jacksonville. 

The Illinois <^ Michigan Canal ex- 
tends from Chicago, on Lake Michigan, 
to Peru, on Illinois r. 100 m. 

Besides these, liberal appropriations 
have been made for improving the Wa- 
bash, Illinois, Rock, Little Wabash, and 
Ka.skaskia rs. and several public roads. 

ILLINOIS R. a very important r. 
whose northern source is Fox r. rising in 
Wisconsin Territory, and its E. source 
the Kankakee. When the Kankakee and 
the R. des Plaines unite, they take the name 
of Illinois. The comparative length of 
the Illinois, including Fox r. is about 400 
m. fallinginto the Mississippi 20 m. above 
its junction with the Missouri. The 
length of the Illinois proper is about 
2ti5 m. It is navigable, generally, for 
210 m. and at high water as far as Otta- 
wa, about 220 m. The navigation of the 
r. by steam and other vessels is consider- 
able and fast increasing.

IlfDZ ASfA, one of the United 
States, bounded N. by Michigan and the 
Lake, E. by Ohio, S. by Kentucky, and 
W. by Illinois. Its greatest length from 
N. to S. is 275 m. by 145 m. in breadth, 
and contains about 38,000 square m. 

The surface of the country is generally 
level, with occasional broken and uneven 
sections, which, however, are more par- 
ticularly confined to the neighborhood 
of the Ohio r. in the S. part of the 
state. There are many prairies, some of 
wiiich are extensive, containing belts of 
good timber on the streams which cross 
them. 

The climate is similar to that of Ohio 
and Illinois, and is generally healthy, ex- 
cept on the borders of Lake Michigan, 
winch are subject to heavy rains. The 
winters are short, and not usually very 
severe. 

The soil is extremely rich and produc- 
tive. The prairies are beautiful and well 
adapted to the growth of wheat and In- 
dian corn. But much of the country m 
the N. part of the state is low, and too 
wet for cultivation. 

The principal rivers are the Ohio, which 
forms the S. border of the state — the Wa- 
bash, While, White Water, Kankakee, 
Salamanic and Mississinewa. 

The chief towns are New Albany, Jef- 
fersonville, Vincennes, Indianapolis, (the 



late capital of the state,) and Springfield, 
the present .state capital. 

Indiana College was founded in 1827, 
and is located at Bloomington. The U. 
S. granted two townships of land to this 
college. The general subject of common 
school education had not been much at- 
tended to, up to the year 1838, although 
provided for in the constitution. 

The population of the state has increas- 
ed very rapidly. In 1800, it was only 
5,641 ; 1810,24,520; 1820, 147,178; 1830, 
343,031. 

Indiana was visited as early as 1703 
by the French traders and soldiers from 
Canada, and some small settlements were 
made, particularly on the Wabash, among 
which was Vincennes. The settlers lived 
a long time in almost entire seclusion 
from the rest of the world. The savages 
frequently harassed them and broke up 
their settlements. In 1763, the country 
passed by treaty into the hands of the 
English, but it was merely nominal. Be- 
fore 1800, Indiana was included in the 
general territory NVV. of the Ohio r. and 
from 1800 to 1809, it was united in its 
territorial government with Illinois. In 
1816, it was admitted into the Union as a 
state. 

The settlers suffered so much from the 
savages, that in 1811, Gen. Harrison was 
sent against them with an armed force. 
They encamped at Tippecanoe, near 
Prophets town, where the Indians were 
assembled to the number of 600 warriors. 
After negotiation, in which the Indians 
professed great friendship, they arose at 
niijht and attacked the American camp 
with horrid shouts and yells. The troops 
were at first thrown into confusion, but 
were rallied, and succeeded in entirely de- 
feating the savages. Two hundred Ameri- 
cans fell in the battle. 

Internal Improvements. — The public 
improvements now in progress in tliis 
state are — The Wabash ^^ Eric Canol, to 
connect Lake Erie at Toledo, on the Mau- 
mee Bay, with the Wabash r. at Terre 
Haute. 

The Central Canal connects the Wa- 
bash and Erie Canal, at Peru, on the 
Wabash r. with the Ohio r. at Evansville, 
and is again connected with the Wabash 
and Erie Canal at Terre Haute, by a 
cross cut intersecting it at Point Com- 
merce, at thp mouth of Eel r. 40^ m. long. 

The White Water Canal is to connect 
Cambridge City, on the national road, 
with the Ohio r. at Lawrencfburgh, 76 m. 
A branch extends from the main canal at 
Harrison to Cincinnati, Ohio. 

The Madison tj- Lafayetle Rail Poad,

(of which 22 m. are completed, from 
Vernon to Madison,) is expected to be 
finished in 1842. Length, ItIO m. 

In addition to these, two McAdamized 
roads are in progress — one from Jeffer- 
sonvilie to Crawfordsvillc, connecting the 
Ohio, opposite Louisville, with the Wa- 
bash and Erie Canal — 158 m. Ions; and 

The New Albany 4' Vincennes Road —

KENTUCKY R. rises in the Cumber- 
land Mountains, in the SE. part of Ky. 
and flows NW. to the Ohio r. at Port 
William, Gallatin co. It is navigable in 
high water for steamboats to Frankfort, 
the capital. Length, 325 m. This r. flows 
through a rich agricultural country, con- 
taining coal, iron, salt atid lumber, and a 
popnhaion of 180,000. 

KENTUCKY, one of the Uni- 
ted States, is bounded N. by Indiana and 
Ohio, E. by Virginia, S. by Tennessee, 
and W. by Missouri and Illinois. Its 
greatest length is 400 m. from E. to W. 
Its mean breadth, N. and S. 140 m. — with 
an area of 40,G00 square m. or about 
26,000,000 acres. 

The state originally formed part of Va. 
and was first settled by the celebrated Col. 
Daniel Boone, the backwoodsman, who 
built a log hut, and established himself 
with his family, in the midst of great dif- 



ficulties and discouragements, in 1769. 
Lexington was founded in 177(3. The 
state was set apart from Va. in 1790, and 
in 1792 it was admitted into the Union. 

The, citizens of Kentucky have always 
been distinguished for their gallantry and 
chivalry, which wei-e particularly mani- 
fested in their enthusiasm to share in the 
toil and glory of the late war of 1812. 

The principal rivers are the Ohio, which 
forms the whole northern boundary, the 
Kentucky, Licking, Green, Cumberland, 
Tennessee, Salt, and Big Sandy r. which 
forma half of the E. boundary. The 
Kentucky r. flows through a chasm of 
hmestone several liundred feet perpendicu- 
lar height. 

The chief towns are Louisville, which 
is the largest ; Lexington, which is the 
oldest ; Maysville, and Frankfort, the 
state capital. 

The surface of the country is undula- 
ting and diversified, presenting but few 
great elevations, except in the eastern part, 
which is mountainous. A large portion 
of the central section of the state is a rich 
and most beautiful country, not surpassed 
by any in the world. The soil generally 
throughout the state is very fertile. 

The climate is healthy and agreeable — 
the winters seldom lasting longer than 
three months. 

The whole country W. of the moun- 
tains rests on a bed of limestone from 8 
to 10 feet below the surface. There are 
many remarkable cavities, called "sink 
holes," caused by the waters penetrating 
through the limestone. Some of them are 
60 feet deep, and 250 in circumference at 
the top. 

There are also a number of wonderful 
caverns of great depth and extent. The 
Mammoth Cave near Green River is the 
most celebrated. It has been explored to 
the extent of 15 m. without reaching the 
termination. 

Iron is found abundantly — also cop- 
peras, lead and coal are found in different 
parts of the state. Salt springs are nu- 
merous. 

The principal agricultural productions 
arc wheat, hemp and tobacco. Indian 
corn and cotton are also raised, and a 
great variety of fruits. 

A great trade is carried on by river 
navigation, in the various agricultural 
productions. A large number of fine 
horses and cattle are also raised and trans- 
ported on flat boats down the rivers, or 
driven across the mountains into the At- 
lantic states. 

Of religious denominations, the Bap- 
tists are the most numerous. There are 



KEY

KIN 



also a large number of Presbyterians and 
Method isls. The Catholics and Episco- 
palians are less numerous. 

There are several colleges in this state, 
viz: The Transylvanian University, at 
Lexington; the Central College, at Dan- 
ville; Cumberland College, at Princeton; 
a college at Augusta, and one at George- 
town. Also a Catholic Seminary, called 
St. Joseph's College, at Bardstown. Com- 
mon school education has not yet received 
that attention which its great importance 
demands.

three forks, by means of dams, locks and 
slack water. The latter for the distance 
of '250 m. to admit steamboats of 150 tons 
burden. The locks to be 175 feet long, 
and 35 feet wide. 

Green and Barren rs. are also to be

ZiCUISIAUA, one of the Uni- 
ted States, bounded on the N. by Arkan- 
sas and Mississippi, E. by Mississippi and 
the Gulf of Mexico, S. by G. of Mexico, 
and W. by Texas. Its greatest length, 
K and W. is 3^ta. Its greatest breadth 
N. and S. 270 m. and contains about 
48,000 square miles. 

In 1682, part of the country was ex- 
plored by La Salle, and called Louisiana 
after Louis XIV. He began a settlement 
in 1684 at the Bay of St. Bernard on the 
G. of Mexico about 300 m. W. of the 
mouth of the Mississippi. The Missis- 
sippi r. had been already discovered in 
1673 by two French missionaries, who 
crossed from duebec, by way of the 
Lakes, to the Mississippi, and down the 
r. to the mouth of the Arkansas. 

A more permanent settlement was made 
in 1699 : and in 1717, the city of New 
Orleans was founded. In 1763, Louis- 
iana, which included Arkansas, Missouri; 
and all the territory now in possession of 
the United States W. of the Mississippi 
r. was ceded by France to Spain, but 
was not taken possession of by that pow- 
er until 1769. It was ceded back to 
France in 1800 ; and in 1803 it was pur- 
chased by the U. States for 60,000,000 
francs, or over 15,000,000 dollars. In 
1812 Louisiana, as at present defined, 
was admitted into the Union as a sove- 
reign State. In 1814 the State was in- 
vaded by a British anny under Gen. 
Packenham, which, after several indeci- 
sive actions, was completely repulsed 
with great slaughter, by Gen. Jackson; 
below^New Orleans, Jan. 8, 1815. 

Three-fourths of the surface of the state 
may be considered an entire level — divid- 
ed into swamps, prairies, alluvions, pine 
forests, hickory and oak lands. The ele- 
vations are very slight, and are principally

in the western section. Some of the prairies 
are of vast extent, containing from 5,000 
to 8,000 square m. The Attakapasand the 
Opelousas prairies are the hirjjest. They 
contaitt rich pasture for cattle, and are 
fringed with forests of pine on the N. and 
S. Many spots exhibit beautiful fertile 
plantations, on which cotton and indigo 
are cultivated, and large herds of cattle 
may be seen quietly grazing. 

A great portion of the slate, amounting 
to 5,000,000 acres, is annually inundated 
by the waters of the Mississippi. Part 
of this soil is of the greatest fertility, and 
is susceptible of being drained — other 
portions are composed of cypress swamps 
and marshes. 

Cotton is the great staple of the state, 
but sugar is produced in great quantities 
in the more elevated soil. Rice also is 
produced on the banks of the Mississippi. 

The principal rivers are the Missis- 
sippi, Red r. Washita, Atchafalaya, 
Black, Lafourche, Sabine, Terisaw, Cal- 
casia and BeufF. The state abounds in 
numerous lakes, the principal of which

Calcasia and Barrataria. 

The cliief towns are New Orleans, the 
capital of the state, Donaldsonville, St. 
Marlins, Alexandria, St. Francisvilie, Ba- 
ton Rouge and Natchitoches — but N. Or- 
leans is the only town of considerable size. 

The Catholic is the prevailing religion. 
Other denominations do not number over 
40 ministers. 

There is a college at New Orleans, and 
one at Jackson, and $40,000 annually are 
appropriated for the education of the chil- 
dren of the poor.

the r. is very extensive, and the enterpris- 
ing citizens of Louisville have done much 
in various manufactures. As an evidence 
of the rapid increase of the place, the 
population in 1800 amounted to 1,350, and 
in 1830 to 10,354. Disi. 52 m. N. of

now contains a large number, principally 
cotton, with several millions of dollars 
invested, and some of them the largest in

IVIAIITE, one of the U. States, 
in the NE. part, is bounded N. and NW. 
by Lower Canada, E. by New Brunswick, 
S. by the Atlantic Ocean, and W. by 
New Hampshire. It lies between 43° 5' 
and 48^ 6' N. lat. and 66° 49' and 71° 
W. long, from Greenwich.* Its greatest 
length is 348 m.— greatest breadth, 180 m. 
Area about 33,300 square m. 

The country was originally granted to 
the Council of Plymouth by James I. in 
1606, who attempted a settlement at the 
mouth of the Kennebeck r. which failed. 
In 1624 the company granted it to Gorges 
and Mason, under whom it was first per- 
manently settled in 1630. Massachusetts 
purchased the territory of them, and in 
1691 her charter embracing it was con- 
firmed. It remained a district of Massa- 
chusetts until 1820, when it became a 
separate state, and was admitted into the 
Union. 

The surface of the country, though not 
mountainous, presents some broken ridges 
in continuation of the Appalachian range ; 
and occasional elevations which rise sev- 
eral thousand feet. A range of high- 
lands enters the state from the N. part 
of New Hampshire and runs parallel 
with the St. Lawrence, continuing a north- 
erly and westerly course, intersecting the 
N. and S. line which forms the E. boun- 
dary of Me. These are the highlands 
which divide the waters which flow into 
the St. Lawrence from those which flow 
into the Atlantic. There are other con- 
siderable elevations in irregular groups, 
of which the principal are the Katahdin, 
White Cap, Saddleback, Ebeeme and 
Spence Mountains. The Katahdin is 
5,375 feet high ; several of the others are 
from 3,500 to 4,000 feet above tide. 

The winters are generally severe. The 
ground is covered with snow in the inte- 



* The limits here given are according to the Ameri- 
can claim under the treaty ot" Ghent, desrriliing the 
boundary in th'se words: — "From thn nolh west an- 
gle of Nova ::?cotia, viz : that angle which is formed 
by a line drawn due north from the source of St. Croix 
river to the highlands, along Ihe said highlands which 
divide those rivers that empty them-elves into the St. 
Lawrence from those that fall into the Atlantic Ocean 
to the northwesternmost head of the C^nneclicut 
river." This boundary is now in dispnte. The Brili-^h 
claim a line S. of Ihe head waters of ihe Aro stook, 
Allagash and .S. branch of .-^t. Johns— luginning nt

rior and southern parts for three or four 
months in the year, and in the forests and 
mountainous regions for five months. 
The summers are hot, but not sufficiently 
long for the favorable cultivation of Indian 
corn, though a considerable quantity is 
raised. Tlie longest season of vegetation 
is between the 20th April and 15th Oc- 
tober. 

The soil is extremely various. Be- 
tween the rivers Kenneljeck and Penob- 
scot it is very fertile, and favorable to the 
growth of wheat and other grains. Along 
the coast it is generally of a poorer quali- 
ty. The country abounds in timber, 
which may be considered its chief pro- 
duction. Much of the land is well adapt- 
ed to grazing. 

The principal lakes are the Moosehead, 
50 m. long by 12 broad ; Umbago Lake, 
(partly in N. H.) 18 m. long by 10 broad ; 
Chesuncook Lake, 20 m. long by 3 broad, 
and Sebago Pond, 12 m. long. The state 
abounds in numerous smaller lakes and 
ponds. 

There are numerous islands on the 
coast. The principal are Mount Desert, 
Grand Menan, Deer Island and the Fox 
Islands. 

The principal bays are Penobscot, Pas- 
samaquoddy, Frenehman's, Casco and 
Portland harbor. There are many other 
fine harbors favorable for commerce. 

The chief rivers are the Penobscot, 
Kennebeck, Androscoggin, Saco, St. 
Johns and St. Croix. Abundance of fish 
are taken all along the coast. 

Iron abounds in many parts of the state, 
and lend is found in small quantities. 
Slate of a superior qnality exists between 
the Kennebeck and St. Johns rs. Marble 
is found on the Penobscot, and good 
building granite abounds in all pans of 
the state. Lime is abundant in Waldo 
and Lincoln cos. 

The principal towns are Portland, the 
former capital, Hailowell, Augusta, the 
present slate capital, Bath, Brunswick, 
Voik, Saco, Bangor, Waldoboro, Ma- 
chias, Wiscasset, Eastport and Kenne- 
bunk. 

The state has many respectable insti- 
tutions of learning. Bowdoin College, 
at Brunsvvick, founded from lands grant- 
ed by Hon. James Bowdoin, in 1794, 
and other lands from Massachusetts and 
Maine. Waterville College, incorporated 
in 1813. Bangor Theological Seminary. 
Maine Wesleyan Seminary, at Readfield, 
incorporated in 1822. Gardiner Lyceum, 
established in 1822, to prepare young men 
by a scientific education to become skilful 
farmers and mechanics. 



Besides these, there are about 35 incor- 
porated academies, aided by grants of 
land from the state. The .state has also 
provided for common school instruction. 
A sum equal to 40 cents for each inhabi- 
tant is raised by law in every town, to be 
apportioned among the school districts.

annual expense, $68,188. 

Inlemal Improvements. — The Cumber- 
land (f* Oxjord Canal, extends from Port- 
land to Sebago Pond, 20i m. and has 26 
locks. It was completed in 1829. By 
means of a lock in Songo r. it is united 
with Brandy and Long Ponds, making 
the whole water communication 50 m. 
Total cost, near $250,000. 

The Bangor 1^ Orono Rail Road, from 
Bangor to Orono or Oldiown, 10 m. long, 
completed in 1836. No other canal or 
rail road is completed. 

A rail road has been projected from the 
coast of Maine to Q,uebec, and a recon- 
noisance of three routes has been made 
by Col. Long, of the United States Topo- 
graphical Engineers. The route from 
Portland to Gluebec, 277 m. is estimated 
to cost $2,446,000. The route from Wis- 
casset to Gluebec, 246 m. ; cost, $1,963,500. 
The route from Belfast to duebec, 227 m. ; 
cost, $1,721,500. The last route is pro- 
nounced the most eligible. 

A rail road has been projected from 
Portland to Bangor, 132 ni. long. 

The Portland, Saco tf- Portsmouth 
Rail Road was incorporated in 1837, 48 
m. long, designed to connect with the 
Eastern Rail Road from Boston to Ports-

Maryland was first explored by 
Lord Baltimore, a Catholic, who visited 
the country to form a settlement on ac- 
count of the persecution of that sect in 
England. He died on his return to Eng- 
land, while preparing for emigration 
His son obtained the grant of the territo- 
ry, and named it Maryland, in honor of 
Henrietta Maria, the Q,ueen of Charles I. 
He appointed his brother, Leonard Cal- 
vert, governor of the colony, who estab- 
lished a settlement in 1634, at St. Mary's, 
on the Potomac. The Catholics were se- 
verely persecuted for some years after, 
and the colonists experienced various 
troubles, which were removed at the 
restoration of Charles II. in 1660. The 
Calvert family were a second time de- 
prived of the government, by William 
and Mary, and Maryland continued a 
royal government until 1716, when the 
proprietor was again restored to his rights. 
Oh the 14th of August, 1776, the consti- 
tution of the State was ratified. 

The only mountains aie along the N. 
bank of the Potomac, where the Appala- 
chian ridge crosses a narrow strip of the 
State. The rest of the Stale is generally 
undulating and level. 

There is much good land in the State, 
adapted to the cultivation of wh^at and 
tobacco. The valleys in the W. part of 
the State particularly, are extremely fer- 
tile and firoductive. 

The rlimaie is rather milder than that 
of Pennsylvania, and somewhat warmer 
in summer. The weather is liable to sud- 
den chiinges of heat and cold. In the 
low lands, on the shores, it is subject to 
intermittent fevers; but in the more ele- 
vated and undulating sections, the climate 
is salubrious and healthy. 

The principal rivers are the Potomac, 
Susquehannah. PatuX'>nt, Patapsco, and 
the Severn, which fall into Chesapeake 
Bay on the W. side. On the E side are 
Chester, Choptank and Nanticoke rs. 

TheN. half of Chesapeake Bay pene- 
trates far into the interior, dividing the 
State into two sections, called the Eastern 
and Western shores. The principal 
island.^ are Kent island, the Tangier 
islands, and Assatiegue island.

The chief towns are Baltimore, the com- 
mercial metropolis-, Annapolis, and Fred- 
ericktown. 

Maryland, though not called a manu- 
facturing State, contains numerous man- 
ufactories of cotton, wool, copper, and 
iron-rolling and flouring mills. Flour is 
the great staple of the State ; and tobacco 
is also produced in considerable quan- 
tities. 

Washington College, at Chestertown, 
was instituted in 1782; St. John's College, 
at Annapolis, was founded in 1784. The 
Medical College was founded in Balti- 
more, 1807, and in 1812, was chartered 
as the " University of Maryland" — hav- 
ing added to it the faculties of Law and 
Divinity. St. Mary's College at Balti- 
more, a Catholic institution, was founded 
in 1799. The College at Mt. St. Mary, 
near Emmitsburg, also Catholic, was 
founded in 1830.

Internal Improvements. — Two of the 
most important improvements in the U. 
States have been undertaken in Mary- 
land. The Chesapeake (f Ohio Canal., 
and the Baltimore i^ Ohio Rail Road. 

The Chesapeake tf* Ohio Canal was 
chartered by Virginia in 1824, confirmed 
by Maryland and Congress, 1825, and 
ciimmenced in 1828. It is to extend from 
the Potomac, near Georgetown, to Cum- 
berland on the Potomac; thence by Wills 
or. Youghiogeny and Monongahela rs. 
10 Pittsburg. Length 341} ni. Distance 
from Georgotown to the Pennsylvania 
State line, 189 in The original estimate 
of cost was $22,375,000. A later esti- 
irnteis S9,347,408. The State of Mary- 
and subscribes ft'3,000,000 for the work, 
and the U. States Government $1,000,000. 
The whole lockage required will be 
3,215 feet. The locks are to be 100 feet 
by 15. Breadth of the canal at the sur- 
face of the water, from 60 to 80 feet; at 
the bottom, 50 feet; depth from 6 to 7 
feet. A tunnel is required through the 
Alleghany mountains, at the summit level, 
4 m. .md 80 yards in length. 

Port Deposit Canal, 10 m. long, along 
the E. bank of the Susquehannah r. ex- 
tends from Port Deposit to the boundary 
of the State — designed to overcome the

The Baltimore d^ Ohio Rail Road, 
was incorporated in 1827, by the Legis- 
latures of Maryland, Virginia, and Penn- 
sylvania, commenced July 4, 1828 — to 
extend from Baltimore to the Ohio river, 
about 360 m. 83,000,000 of the stock 
have been subscribed by the Slate of Ma- 
ryland, and $3,000,000 by thecity of Bal- 
timore. A considerable portion of the 
road is completed and in operation. 

The Baltimore tf- Port Deposit R. Road, 
originally designed to connect with the 
Oxford and Columbia rail roads to Phila- 
delphia extends from Baltimore to Ha- 
vre de Grace, 5 m. below Port Deposit ; 
and from Baltimore 34J m. From a 
point opposite to Havre de Grace, the 
Wilmington & Susquehannah rail road 
continues the route to the line between 
Delaware and Pennsylvania. Thence the 
Philadelphia & Baltimore rail road com- 
pletes the communication to Philadelphia. 
The whole distance by this route is 93 m. 
The route by way of the Oxford & Co- 
lumbia rail roads, would be 118 m. The 
Oxford rail road is for the present sus- 
pended. 

The Baltimore (^ Washington Rail 
Road, 40 m. long, was completed in 1835. 

The Baltimore t|- Susquehannah Rail 
Road, to extend from Baltimore to "Vork, 
Pa. 59^ m. was begun in 1830, and 
considerable progress has been made in 
the sections within the State of Maryland.

Although Cabot, when he discovered 
North America in 1497, sailed along the 
coast of Massachusetts, yet no regular 
discovery was made until 1602, when 
Bartholomew Gosnold explored Cape Cod 
and Buzzard's Bay. Capt. Smith, in 
1614, explored the whole coast of Maine 
and Massachusetts, to the S. extremity 
of the bay. The flourishing descriptions 
he gave of the country induced Charles 
I. then Prince Charles, to call it New 
England. No regular settlement, how- 
ever, was made until December 22d, 1620, 
when the Puritans, to the number of 101, 
emigrated to America on account of their 
persecutions in England. They landed 
at Plymouth, and established a republican 
form of government, on the principles of 
virtue and intelligence. Every child in 
the community was to be instructed. Re- 
ligion was an object of sperial care with 
the colonists, which extended even to the 
privilege of voting being confined to the 
church members. Other settle\nents were 
soon made along the coast. Salem was 
founded in 1627, and Boston in 1630. 
The hardships and dangers of the early 
settlers were very great. The first gene- 
ral court, rnnsisting of 24 representatives 
from the diffVrent settlements, was held in 
1634. Previous to this, all the freemen 
assembled from time to time for the trans- 
action of public business. Trial by jury 
was now established. In 1613, a union 
took place between all the New England 
colonies. In 1664, the province of Maine 
placed itself under the protection of Ma.s- 
sachusetts. The colonists suffered much 
in a war with Philip, which broke out in

1675. The colony of Massachusetts Bay 
and that of Plymouth, or the Old Colony, 
were united by a royal charter in 1692 
The governors were appointed by the 
king of England, who exercised the power 
also of annulling the colonial laws. This 
was the general condition of the colony 
until the revolution, in 1776, in which 
Massachusetts took a foremost and active 
part. A stale constitution was formed in 
1780, which was revised in 1820, and 
again revised and ratified in Nov. 1836. 
A serious insurrection broke oat in the 
state in 1786, under Shays, which was 
not quelled without great difficulty by the 
troops and militia under Generals Lincoln 
and Shepard. 

The general surface of the country is 
somewhat rough and uneven, without any 
very considerable mountains. The Green 
Mountain range of Vermont enters the 
W. part of Massachusetts, which are here 
called the Hoosac and Tagkannuc ridges. 
Of the latter, the highest elevation is Sad- 
dle Mountain, in the N. part, near 4,000 
feet high; and Tagkannuc Mountain, 
2,800 feet high. The Hoosac range is 
less elevated, and divides the branches of 
the Hoosac and Housatonic rs. The 
other highest elevations are Wachusett 
Mountain, in Worcester co. : Mount Hoi- 
yoke and Mount Tom, in Hampshire co. 
and Mount Toby, in Franklin co. 

The chief rivers are the Connecticut 
and its tributaries, Westfield, Deerfield, 
Millers and Chickopee rs. ; the Merri- 
mac, Housatonic, Hoosac, duinnebaug, 
Pawtucket, Charles, Concord, Taunton 
and Nashua rs. Of these, only two afford 
much facility for navigation. 

The principal bays are Massachusetts, 
Cape Cod, Buzzards, Boston, Barnstable 
and Plymouth Bays. 

The principal islands are Nantucket, 
Martha's Vineyard and Elizabeth Islands. 
The prominpnt capes are Cape Cod, Cape 
Ann and Nahant. 

The winters are occasionally severe, 
but less so than formerly. Early in the 
spring, the NE. winds are cold and disa- 
greeable, but the weathor in May and 
during the summer becomes settled, mild 
and agreeable. The country assumes a 
rich and beautiful appearance, the air is 
pure and lM>akhy, and art and nature seem 
to vie '.n rendering the whole face of things 
delisrhtful to the eye. 

The midiile and western sections of the 
stateconiain many b-autiful, fertile tracts, 
in u high state of cultivation. In the 
southern anH eastern parts the soil is 
lighter, atid on the const there are occa- 
sional marshy and b.'jrren tracts.

The commerce of Massachusetts is ex- 
tensive, and second only to that of New 
York. Much of the shipping is employed 
in the mackerel, cod and whale fisheries. 
The whale fishery is carried on chiefly 
from Nantucket and New Bedford. This 
adventurous business has been justly con- 
sidered as a nursery of skilful and enter- 
prising seamen. 

This state is distinguished for her man- 
ufactures of every description. The most 
considerable are those of cotton, woollens, 
boots and shoes, leather, cordage, wrought 
and cast iron, nails, hats, straw bonnets, 
glass, paper, oil and salt. The most 
extensive manufactories are situated in 
Lowell, Waltham, Taunton, Fall River 
and Aniesbury. 

The principal towns are Boston, Salem^ 
New Bedford, Gloucester, Nantucket, 
Springfield, Lowell, Newburyport, Lynn, 
Marblehead, Plymouth, Worcester, Fall 
River, Northampton and Haverhill. 

Massachusetts contains many excellent 
literary institutions, among which are 
Harvard University, at Cambridge, found- 
ed in 1638, principally from a donation 
of John Harvard ; Williams College, at 
Williamstown, founded in 1755 ; Am- 
herst College, near Northampton, founded 
in 1821 ; the Theological Seminary at 
Andover, founded in 1807. Besides these, 
there are numerous highly respectable in- 
corporated academies in the state. 

Common school instruction is also lib- 
erally provided for all the children in the 
state. The amount raised by tax in the 
towns for common schools, according to 
the report of 1837, was S39l,993; by 
voluntary contribution, S'47,593; paid for 
tuition in private schools and academies, 
jt326,643: total, S7r)6,228. Sum appor- 
tioned by law from the school fund, 
SI 9, 002. 

According to the revision of the con- 
stitution in 1836, the number of represen- 
tatives in the Legislature is reduced from 
631 to 417. Each town or city having 
300 ratable polls, may elect one represen- 
tative, and for every 450 in addition to 
the first 300, one represi-ntative more. 
Formerly one representative was chosen 
for everv 150 rataMe polls, and one for 
every additional 225. 

Pnpul.ition at various periods : In 1790, 
96.510; 1800. 422,845; 1810, 472.040; 
1«>0, .523.287; 1830, 610,408; and in 
1837, 701 331. 

According to the returns of March, 
1837, the number of paupers the preced- 
ing year was 5, .580, of which 3,720 were 
born in Massnchusetis. 633 in other states, 
and 1,192 in foreign countries.

by Cuba, and W. by Mexico. Its great- 
est length E. & W. is about 950 m. by 
600: area, about 600,000 square miles. It 
receives a current through the Cuba chan- 
nel, and discharges through the Florida 
channel into the Atlantic. This Gulf is 
rcnnarkable for its depth, and for affording 
so few good harbors along such an exten- 
sive coast.

KOCICHIGAIT, one of the Uni-

E. by Lake Huron, and rivers St. Clair & 
Detroit, which separate it from Upper 
Canada and Lake Erie; S. by Ohio and 
Indiana, and W. by Lake Michigan and 
Montreal r. Greatest length from N. to 
S. 280 m. Greatest breadth, 180 m. Area 
about 40,000 square m. 

The earliest settlements in Michigan 



were made by the French, from Canada, 
at Detroit, in 1670; but little increase was 
made in the number of its inhabitants for 
the next century. The United States did 
not obtain actual possession of the country 
until 1796. A territorial government was 
established in 1805. During the war of 
1812, the country was overrun by the 
British troops, and recovered by Gen. 
Harrison the following year. Since that 
period, and especially in late years, the 
increase of population has been rapid be- 
yond all anticipation. On the 11th May, 
1835, a convention assembled at Detroit, 
to form a constitution for the stale, which 
was ratified in October; and on the 26ih 
of January, 1837. Michigan was admitted 
into the Union, by an act of Congress. 

The surface of the country is generally 
level, gently inclining E. & W. present- 
ing but kw elevations. A ridge of table 
land in the centre of the state divides the 
streams which flow into Lake Michigan 
fiom those which flow into Lakes Huron, 
St. Clair, and Erie. 

The climate is mild and pleasant, but 
frequently subject to extremes of heat and 
cold. The winters are less severe than 
formerly, except in the northern parts. 

The soil is exceedingly fertile — produ- 
cing wheat, corn, and other grain, and 
grass in ^reat abundance. A consideral)le 
portion of the country is rich prairie, inter- 
spersed with bells of bpautiful woodland. 
On the E. shore of Lake Michigan are 
rangt's of sand hills, which rise from 100 
to 300 feet high — blown up by the prevail- 
ing west winds. The country abounds 
with streams and small lakes. 

The principal rivers are Grand r. St. 
Josephs, Kalamazoo, Raisin, Huron, Sa- 
ginaw, Maskegon, Flint, Pent Water, 
Tittibawnsse, and Monistic. 

The principal towns are Detroit, the 
capital, Monroe, Tecumseh, Brownstown, 
Ann Arbour, Ypsilante, Poniiac, and 
Dexter. 

An act was passed on the I8th March, 
1837, to establish the University of Mich- 
iijan, 10 consist of three departments: 1. 
The department of literature, science, and 
the arts; 2. Law; 3. Medicine; and to 
have 26 professorships. The government 
to be invested in a board of regents, con- 
sisting of 12 members. The lands con- 
stituting the funds of the university, are 
estimated at S921,000. 

An act has been passed for a erological 
survey of the state, under Dr. Houghton, 
and !$29,0I)0 appropriated for that purpose. 

The legislature have also organized a 
system of common school instruction. A 
valuable provision was made by cor'"'ess,

by which a section of land in each town- 
ship is reserved for the support of prima- 
ry schools. These lands are estimated at 
$3,520,000. 

Internal Improvements. A number of 
important rail roads have been projected, 
and incorporated, some of whirli have 
been commenced. In March, 1837, an act 
was passed establishing a system of inter- 
nal improvement, under the direction of a 
board of commissioners, and a loan of 
S5,0O0,0OO was authorized. 

The board was directed to cause sur- 
veys to be made of the three following 
rail roads across the state: 

1. The Ontral Rail Road, to extend 
from Detroit to the mouth of St. Josephs r. 

2. The Southern Rail Road, to extend 
from the navigable waters of the river 
Raisin to New Buffalo, via Monroe. 

3. The Northern Rail Road, to extend 
from Palma, or the mouth of Black r. to 
the navigable waters of Grand r. or to L. 
Michigan. 

The following rail roads have been pro- 
jected by incorporated companies: 

The Gibraltar (^ Clinton Rail Road. 
Capital, S 100,000. 

The Detroit if- Shiavmssee Rail Road. 
Capital, S500 000. 

The Detroit (f- Maumee Rail Road, to 
extend from Detroit to the river Maumee. 
Capital, ^500 000. 

The Toledo <^ Kalamazoo Rail Road, 
to extend from the Toledo to the mouth of 
the Kalamazoo. 

Many other rail roads and canals have 
been projected. 

The legislature, in 1838, made appro- 
priations for internnl improvements to the 
amount of ^1,050.000, as follows : 

For the Southern Rail Road, SSIiO.OOO 
" Central Rail Road, 350.000

IMlISSISSZPPI, one of the

Lake Borgne, and W. by Louisiana and 
Arkansas. Greatest length, 320 m. great- 
est breadth, 160 m. Area, 42,600 square 
miles. 

A settlement was made at Natchez, in 
this state, by the French, in 1716, who 
built a fort there. But as the territory was 
long in dispute between the French and 
the Spanish, and afterwards between the 
French and the English, further settlements 
were retarded for many years. Great dif- 
ficulties were experienced with the Indians, 
who, in 1729, massacred all the French at 
this post, including both sexes, several 
hundred in number. The Indians were 
soon after entirely subdued. The whole 
country, in 1763, was ceded, as part of 



Florida, by the French to Great Britain. 
The territory, in 1781, again fell into pos- 
session of Spain, by whom it was ceded 
to the United States in 1798. It was or- 
ganized as a territory, including Ala- 
bama; and in December. 1817, was ad- 
mitted into the Union as a state. 

The surface of the country in the S. 
part is level, with some moderate eleva- 
tions in the SW. In the N. it is gently 
undulating. A portion of the state is 
composed of pine barrens. The soil in 
the S. part is thin, and in the neighbor- 
hood of the Mississippi it is generally in- 
undated by the overflowing of the river. 
In the N. parts the soil is very fertile. 

The climate is unhealthy in the low and 
swampy lands, and in the S. parts of the 
state, in the summer season. There are 
no winters ; but ice is sometimes seen in 
the N. parts. 

The principal rivers are the Mississip- 
pi, Pascagoula, Pearl, Yazoo, Big Black, 
and branches of the Tombecbee. 

The chief towns are Natchez, Monti- 
cello, Warrenlon, Vicksburg, and Jack- 
son, the capital. 

The northern part of the state was oc- 
cupied until recently, by the Chickasaw 
and Chociaw Indians, which is now all 
organizitd into counties. The stale con- 
tains in all 56 counties. 

There are three colleges — Jeflferson Col- 
lege, at Washington, near Natchez, found- 
ed in 1802; Oakland College, founded in 
1831 ; and Mississippi College, at Clinton, 
founded in 1830. There are also several 
very respectable academies. 

According to a return made in 1837, 
there were cultivated in 1836, l,04w,530 
acres of land ; and in the same year, 
317,783 bales of cotton were produced. 
Population in 1816,45,929; 1820, 75,448; 
1830, 136,806; 1837, 308,744, of which 
164,393 were slaves.

MISSISSIPPI County, in the NE. 
part of Ark. recently organized. It has 
St. Francis r. on the W. and Mississippi 
r. on the E. Surface generally low. Pop 
1835, 600. 

MISSISSIPPI R. for the extent of its 
basin and commercial importance, and its 
large and numerous tributaries, may be 
justly considered the most important river 
in the world. Its extreme source, as dis- 
covered by Scoolcrat't in 1832, is Itasca 
Lake, a little SW. of Cass Lake, 3,1G0 
m. from its mouth, and 1,500 feet above 
the level of the sea. The r. is navigable 
to the Fulls of St. Anthony. From these 
falls to the mouihof the Missouri, the cur- 
rent averages about 2 m. an hour ; below 
■this it vaiies from 2 to 4 m. an hour. The 
navigation is considerably obstructed by 
sawyers and snags. I'lie sawyers are 
large trees whii-h have been swept into the 
current by the floods and the falling banks; 
their roots are at the bottom, and their tojis 
at the surface of the water. Snags are 
trees which are fast on the bottom of the 
river, and are dangerous at low water. 
Many of tiiese obstructions have been re- 
moved by government Steam boats as- 
cend the river, with full cargoes, at the 
rate of 7 or 8 m. an hour. They reach 
Louisville from New Orlenns, a distance 
o.f about 1,()00 m. in 8 or 10 days. For- 
merly, the time occupied in ascending the 
river with kiel boats, to the mouth of the 
Ohio, 960 m. was from 7 to 8 weeks, and 
frequently longer. The ascending navi- 
gation is now entirely confined to steam 
boats, which has changed the whole as- 
pect of business in the west. The first 
steam boat on the Mississippi was built at 
Pittsburg, in 1811. This noble stream is 
now the channel for a great portion of 
the trade of the eight states upon its bor- 
ders and its tributaries. 

At the mouth of the Missouri, the Mis- 
sissippi is a mile and a half wide. Below 
this, lo the mouth of the Ohio, the aver- 
age width is three quarters of a mile. Its 
average width thence to its mouth, does 
not exceed one mile. The annual flood 
above the mouth of the Missouri com- 



mences generally in March, and subsides 
about the last of May. Its medium height 
is 15 feet. Below the mouth of the Ohio, 
the medial height is 50 feet ; the highest 
rise, 60. At Baton Rouge it is about 30 
feet, and at N. Orleans, 12. During the 
flood the river, below the Ohio, overflows 
its banks in many places for 20 or 30 miles. 
The plantations of Louisiana are protect- 
ed by levees thrown up on the banks of 
the river,principally between Baton Rouge 
and New Orleans. It is a remarkable 
circumstance, that, notwithstanding the 
numerous large rivers which pour their 
waters into the Mississippi, its width is 
rather diminished than increased below 
the mouth of the Missouri. Its peaceful 
waters, however, are changed into a more 
turbid and violent current, and its chan- 
nel is considerably deeper. At Donald- 
sonville it is about 120 to 1.30 feet deep, 
and at New Orleans about 100 feet. At 
low water, above the mouth of the Ohio, 
the channel is about 6 or 7 feet deep, and 
above the mouth of the Missouri, to the 
Des Moines rapids, it is about 4 or 5 feet. 

The principal tributaries of the Missis- 
sippi, are the St Peteis, St. Croix, Chip- 
pewa, Wisconsin, Des Moines, Illinois, 
Missouri, Ohio, St Francis, White, Ar- 
kansas, and Red rivers. 

MISSISSIPPI, Valley of the, compre- 
hends the vast region of country drained 
by the Mississippi r. and its branches, be- 
tween the Alleghany and Rocky moun- 
tains — extending E and W. fiom three to 
five ih 'usand miles. It abounds in soil 
of unequalled fertility, and within the 
states and organized territories, is rapidly 
increasing in population. For a more par- 
ticular description, see the notices of the 
several stales and territories. 

MISSOURI R. the main stream of the 
Mississippi, and in connection with that 
river, the longest in the world. Although 
the course of discovery has established the 
name of the Mississippi for the stream 
below the junction, yet the Missouri is 
much the longer, and is already a consid- 
erable river when it approaches and passr 
es the sources of the Mississippi. The 
Missouri rises in the Rocky Mountains, 
in three streams, called Jefferson, Madi- 
son, and Gallatin rivers, lat. 44°. W. Ion. 
from Washinffton, between 32° and 34'-^; 
and from Greenwich between 111° and 
113°. The entire length of the Missouri, 
including the Mississippi below the junc- 
tion, to the Gulf of Mexico, is 4,420 m. 
Length of the Missouri proper, to its 
mouth in the Mississippi, accordin? to the 
estimate of Lewis and Clarke, 3,100 m. 
It is navigable from the Great Falls to the 



MIS

MOB 



sea, 4,392 m. The principal tributaries 
are the Yellow Stone, Running Water, 
Jacques, Platte, Kanzas, Grand and Osage 
rivers. The springs which form the re- 
motest sources of the Oregon or Colum- 
bia r. and the Missouri, are within one 
mile of each other. The Great Falls are 
2,575 m.. from the Mississippi, where the 
river descends 355 feet in 18 m. The 
principal falls, for grandeur and beauty, 
are surpassed only by Niagara. The 
river, which is here 840 feet wide, falls per- 
pend iculary 96 feet. The pass through the 
Rocky Mountains, 110 m. above the falls, 
presents the wildest and sublimest scenery 
imaginable. The rocks rise perpendicu- 
larly on each side of the river, from 1,000 
to 1,200 feet, for a distance of 6 m. The 
current of the Missouri is rapid, and more 
difficult of ascent than the Mississippi. 
From the Kanzas to the Mississippi, it 
flows from 5 to 6 m. an hour ; and further 
below it sometimes reaches 10 m. an hour 
The annual floods commence in March, 
and the r. continues to rise and full until 
July, the highest beini; in June. The 
whole course of tho Missouri is within 
the trrritory of the U. Slates 

IVIISSOURI, one of the United 
States, is bounded N. by Iowa Territory, 
E. by Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee, 
and S. by Arkansas. Itsnipdiiim length, 
N. and S. is 2h2 m. ; E. and W. 2.0 m. ; 
area, about bC),400 m. 

The surface of this great state presents 
the greatest variety of soil — from barren, 
swampy and rocky to extremely fertile. 
Much of it is rich and produciive, par- 
ticularly on the Missouri r. The climate 
is mild and salubrious. 

The principal rivers are the Missis- 
sippi, which forms the E. boundary, the 
Missouri, Osage, Grand, Chariton, Gms- 
conade, Biid: Black, Maramec nnd St. 
Francis. The chief town is St. Louis. 
Jefferson City is the capital. 

One of the greatest peculiarities in this 
state is the immense lead mines, which 
cover an area of 3,000 square m. which 
have produced from 6 to 14 millions of 
pounds of lead annually. Coal is also 
found in abundance. 

The principal agricultural productions 
are wheat, corn, rye, oats, hemp, flax and 
tobacco. 

The principal relieious denominations 
are Baptists, Methodists and Presbyte- 
rians. There are also a considerable 
number of Catholics. 

Members of the Legislature are chosen 
for two years. The trovernor for four 
years, with a salary of Sl,500. 

There are six colleges in the state, viz : 



The University of St. Louis, (Oath. ;) St, 
Mary's, (Catholic;) Marion, at New Pal- 
myra; St. Charles, Columbia and Fay- 
ette. In Marion College there is a theo- 
logical department. Provision is also 
made by law forcommon school education. 

Missouri was formerly part of the great 
territory known by the name of Louisiana. 
It became a state and was admitted into 
the Union in 1820, after a severe struggle 
in Congress on the question of receiving 
it as a slave state.

New Hampshire was discovered by 
Capt. Smith in 1614. In 1622 it was 
granted by patent to John Mason, under 
the name of Laconia. The first settle- 
ments were made in the following year, 
at Dover and Portsmouth. In 1629, all 
the territory, including lands purchased 
of the Indians by Rev. John Wheelwright, 
between the Merrimack and Piscataqua 
rs. and extending 60 m. from the sea, was 
called New Hampshire. In 1641, all the 
settlements voluntarily united themselves 
to Massachusetts, and composed part of 
the county of Norfolk. In 1679 they were 
made a separate province, by Charles II. 



The first General Assembly convened at 
Portsmouth, in 1680. In 1689 it was 
again united to Massachusetts, and again 
separated in 1692. From 1702 to 1741 it 
was united to Massachusetts, when it be- 
came a separate government. During 
the revolution, it was under a temporary 
administration. In 1784 a new constitu- 
tion was adopted, which was amended in 
1792. 

The surface of the state within 20 or 
30 m. of the seacoast is generally level. 
In the N. and NW. parts it is hilly and 
mountainous. The White Mountains, 
in Coos CO. are considerable elevations, 
and the highest in the United States. 
There are several elevations of this ridge 
between the Connecticut and Merrimack 
rs. the principal of which are Monad- 
nock, Sunapee, Kearsarge, Mooshelock, 
(or Moosehillock,) and Carrs Mountain. 
Moosehillock is over 4,600 feet high. 

The soil generally is fertile, and par- 
ticularly so along the rivers. The hills 
afford pasturage for immense numbers of 
cattle and sheep. Some of the valleys 
are poor, but one side or the other is most- 
ly rich and productive. The climate is 
less severe than in Maine. The rivers 
are generally frozen in November, and 
the earth is covered with snow, which 
continues until April, and in the more 
elevated and uncultivated sections, until 
May. The summers are mild and salu- 
brious. Epidemics are seldom known. 
Iron, copper, plumbago and soapstone are 
found in this state. Beautiful granite 
abounds near Concord, Hopkinton, Bos- 
cawen and other places, and has given 
this the appellation of the " granite state." 

This state produces much excellent pine 
timber, which giows here very high and 
straight. The whole surface was origin- 
ally covered with forest trees of all varie- 
ties. Grain, pork, beef, butter and cheese 
are produced, and much of the latter arti- 
cles exported. 

The principal rivers are the Connecti- 
cut, which rises in the N. of the state, the 
Merrimack and Piscataqua. The largest 
lake is the Winnepiseogee. There are 
some smaller lakes, such as Squam, Sun- 
apee and Ossipee. New Hampshire has 
but 18 m. of sea coast, and one harbor 
and seaport, Portsmouth. 

The principal towns are Portsmouth, 
Concord, Dover, Exeter and Amherst. 
Much of the produce of the state finds its 
way into Maine, from the N. and into 
Boston and Hartford from the S. and W. 
There are large manufactories at Dover, 
Somersworth and elsewhere, particularly 
of cotton and wool.

Dartmouth College was established at 
Hanover in 1770 ; Gilmanton Theological 
Seminary, in 1835, at Gilmanton. Phil- 
lips Academy, at Exeter, was founded in 
1781. The common schools are sup- 

Sorted in part by tax ; about one hun- 
red thousand dollars a year is thus rais- 
ed, in addition to an income of 9 or 
$10,000 from the Literary fund. There 
are about 65,000 children in the state of a 
fit age to attend school.

CO. and one of the capitals of th^ state of 
Ct. is situated on a plain at the head of a 
small bay which opens into Long Island 
Sound, 4 m. distant. The city is hand- 
somely laid out in regular squares, with 
wide streets. On one of the squares are 
the college buildings, several churches, 



and other edifices, which, with the beauti- 
ful elms and shade trees, have a very strik- 
ing effect. This city is much admired for 
its chaste and elegant appearance. The 
state house is a splendid edifice, after the 
model of the Parthenon. Yale College, 
one of the oldest in the country, founded 
in 1700, is located here. There are also 
many very respectable male and female 
seminaries. The coasting trade, particu- 
larly with New York, is considerable, 
and steamboats daily arrive and depart. 
The Farmington canal terminates here, 
forming a connection with Connecticut r.

S. by Delaware bay, and W. by Dela- 
ware r. separating it from Del. and Pa. 
Its greatest length N. and S. is 163 m. its 
mean width 50 — containing 8,300 square 
miles. 

The first settlement in N. J. was made 
by the Danes, in 1624, at Bergen, oppo- 
site N. Y. city. In 1627, the Swedes 
formed a settlement on the W. bank of 
the Delaware. In 1640 the English made 



NEW 



3(rt 



NEW 



a settlement on the Delaware, but were 
driven away by the Swedes and Dutch. 

In 1655, the Dutch of New York con- 
quered the Swedes and sent them all back 
to Europe. In 1664, the English took 
possession of the country, and it was 
granted to Lord Berkley and Sir George 
Carteret, and was named New Jersey, In 
compliment to the latter, who had been 
governor of the Isle of Jersey. The 
Dutch afterwards reconquered the whole 
country, but soon restored it by treaty. 
In 1676, it was divided into East and 
West Jersey, which were reunited in 
1702. In 1776 a constitution was adopt- 
ed. N. Jersey was ardently attached to 
the principles of the revolution, and 
among the first to accept the new consti- 
tution of the U. States. 

The S. portion of the state is level and 
sandy, rising towards the N. into moun- 
tainous ridges. There are many rich 
valleys and sections highly productive of 
wheat and corn, which are the staples. 
Iron, copper and copperas are found in 
various parts. An elevated range of 
land on the Hudson r. commences above 
Hoboken, and extends up the river for 
20 or 30 m. forming a high perpendicular 
wall of stone, called the Palisadoes. The 
highest point is about 500 feet. The cli- 
mate is mild and healthy. 

The principal rivers are the Hudson 
on the E. and the Delaware on the W. 
the Raritan, Passaic, and Hackensack. 
Newark and Amboy are the principal 
bays. 

The chief towns are Newark, New 
Brunswick, Paterson, Elizabethtown, 
Trenton, the state capital, Burlington, 
Bordentown, and Perth Amboy. 

The principal manufactories are at 
Paterson, Newark, Trenton, and Belle- 
ville. 

The Legislature consists of a Council 
and House of Assembly, chosen annu- 
ally. The Council is composed of one 
member from each county, and the As- 
sembly of three from each county. The 
Governor is elected annually by the legis- 
lature. His salary is S2,000. 

The College of New Jersey, at Prince- 
ton, was founded in 1746 ; contains 12 
instructors, 2,183 alumni, 240 students, 
and 11,000 volumes in the two libraries. 
Rutgers College, at New Brunswick, was 
founded in 1770; has 6 instructors, 254 
alumni, 93 students, and 6,500 volumes 
in the libraries. The Theological Semina- 
ry of the Presbyterian church, at Princeton, 
was founded in 1813 ; it has 5 professors, 
130 students, and 7,000 volumes in the 
library. The Seminary of the Dutch 



Reformed church, at New Bruns^s'ick, 
was founded in 1784; it has three pro- 
fessors, and 24 students. The system 
for the regulation of common schools was 
modified by the legislature at its session 
in 1837-38, but it is still considered in- 
efficient in several particulars.

NE W Orleans, city and capital of the 
state of La. is situated on the N. bank of 
a bend in the Mississippi r. 105 m. above 
its mouth, and 90 in a direct line. It was 
laid out in 1717, and named after the Duke 
of Orleans of France. At high water 
the ground on which the city stands is 
below the surface of the river, and is pro- 
tected from inundation by a bank called 
the levee. The city and suburbs extend 
about three miles along the river, and over 



NEW 

one-fourth of a mile back. Owing to the 
spongy nature of the ground there are no 
cellars. The streets are narrow, and the 
houses are built chiefly in the French and 
Spanish style. Among the public build- 
ings are a custom house, a town house, 
hospital, U. S. mint, cathedral, market 
house, a court house, an Ursuline convent, 
and several churches and banks. This 
city is the great depot of the vast and 
growing trade of the Mississippi r. The 
great region of the Mississippi Valley 
must ever continue to pour in its resources 
to augment the business and wealth of 
the place. The levee is constantly crowd- 
ed with ships and craft of all kinds ; and 
during the cotton season, immense quanti- 
ties of bales are piled up in the streets. 
There are sometimes 1,500 flat bottom 
boats in the harbor at a time. Steam- 
boats are constantly arriving and depart- 
ing, and 50 or 60 may often be seen to 
gether. Half the population are French 
and Spanish. The city is subject to en- 
demics every summer, which sweep off 
many strangers ; — yet the population has 
rapidly increased. In 1810, it contained 
17,242; in 1820, 27,178; in 1830, 46,082 
inhabitants. New Orleans was the capi- 
tal of the colony under the Spanish until 
ceded to France in 1803, and by France 
it was given up to the United States in 
1803. Distance SW. from Washington,

■NEW YORK, City & County, N.Y. 
151 m. S. of Albany ; 225 m. NE. from 
Washington ; 89 m. NE. from Philadel- 
phia ; and 207 m. SW. from Boston. 
The city, as laid out, embraces the whole 
of Manhattan Island. Bounded by Hud- 
son, East, and Harlaem rs. and Spuyten 
Duyvel cr. The compact built parts are 
confined to the S. point, formed by the 
junction of East and Hudson rs. The 
first houses were built in 1621. The bay 
affords one of the most beautiful harbors 
in the world, 9 m. long by 4 broad, with 
Long Island on the east, Staten Island 
on the south, and New Jersey on the west 
side, having an outlet to the ocean be- 
tween Staten and Long islands, called 
the Narrows. The city is well protected 



by forts at the Narrows and on Bedlows 
and Governors islands. 

The city was first settled by the Dutch, 
in 1615, and called New Amsterdam. It 
came into possession of the English, in 
1664, who called it New York, in honor 
of the Duke of York. The streets in the 
lower part of the city are irregular, and 
were formerly very narrow ; but within a 
few years past great improvements have 
been made, at immense expense, in widen- 
ing and straightening them. A great 
portion of this section has been rebuilt, 
with large commodious stores. The dis- 
astrous fire of Dec. 16, 1835, which de- 
stroyed property to the amount of about 
tl8,000,000, laid waste a large district of 
the most valuable part of the city, which 
has since been entirely rebuilt with ele- 
gant substantial fire-proof stores, with 
granite fronts. In the west side of the 
town the streets are more regular ; and 
above Houston-street, they are regularly 
laid out east and west, running, north of 
12th street, from river to river, up to 155th 
street, nearly the entire extent of the isl- 
and. These are intersected with wide 
and beautiful avenues running north and 
south. Broadway, which is the principal 
street, is 80 feet wide and about 3 miles 
long; contains many splendid stores and 
private dwellings. It is the most public 
promenade for the gay and fashionable, 
and crowds of strangers from various 
parts of the world. There are several 
beautiful rides on the avenues and roads 
leading to Harlaem, Yorkville, Bloom- 
ingdale, and Manhattanville. There is 
a rail road to Harlaem, through York- 
ville, affording a rapid and cheap convey- 
ance at all hours. Omnibuses are con- 
stantly passing through the principal 
streets, from one end of the city to an- 
other. 

Among the public buildings, the prin- 
cipal are the City Hall, Merchants' Ex- 
change, Custom House, Hall of Justice, 
Astor House, Holt's Hotel, University, 
Columbia College, St. John's, St. Paul's, 
and Trinity churches, the Tabernacle, 
St. Patrick's Cathedral, and several other 
splendid church edifices, newly erected in 
Duane and Grand streets, Broadway and 
Lafayette-place. The City Hall stands 
on the Park, which contains an area of 
11 acres. The front of the building is of 
white marble. It is 216 feet long, 105 
broad, and 65 feet high in the centre. The 
Hall of Record, east of the City Hall, 
formerly a jail, is also a neat, chaste 
building. In the rear, fronting on Cham- 
bers-street, is a range of buildings 260 
feet long, formerly the Almshouse, now 



NEW 2 

called the New York Institution, and oc- 
cupied for various purposes. The Mer- 
chants' Exchange, now erecting, is to be 
a magnificent structure, much larger than 
the building destroyed at the great fire in 
1835, occupying the entire front on Wall- 
street, between William and Hanover. 
The Custom House is a noble building 
of marble, on the corner of Wall, Nas- 
sau, and Pine streets. It is 177 feet long, 
and 89 wide. Its model is the Parthenon. 
The A stor Hotel is a plain massive build- 
ing of granite, 201 fe6t on Broadway, oc- 
cupying the whole front between Barclay 
and Vesey streets, opposite the Park, 154 
feet deep, and five stories high. It con- 
tains between 300 and 400 rooms. Its 
height is 77 feet. The dining-room is 
100 feet by 40. The University of the 
City of New York is a splendid building 
of white marble, in the Gothic or English 
collegiate style of architecture, fronting 
Washington-square. It is 180 feet by 
100. The chapel in the centre receives 
its light from a window 24 feet wide and 
50 feet high. St. John's Chapel is an el- 
egant building, with a spire 240 feet high. 
An elegant park belongs to this church, 
occupying an entire square, opposite the 
church. St. P^itrick's Catliedral is 120 
feet long by 80 wide, and is the largest 
church in the city. St. Paul's Church, 
near the Park, is a fine building, with a 
spire 234 feet high. Trinity Church is 
one of the oldest in the city. It was first 
built in 1696, burned in 1776, and rebuilt 
in 1778. The spire is 198 feet high. 
The graveyard attached to the church 
contains, according to authentic records, 
160,000 bodies, exclusive of those buried 
there during the revolutionary war. Holt's 
Hotel occupies the corner on Fulton, Pearl, 
and Water streets ; is of marble, seven 
stories high. Columbia College is a fine 
stone building. It was established in 
1754, under the name of Kings College, 
which it retained until the revcfiution. 
The Penitentiary is situated on Black- 
wells Island ; an extensive stone build- 
ing, the stone of which was wrought 
from the quarries by the convicts. The 
Mercantile Library Association, and the 
Clinton Hall Association, have a fine 
building on the corner of Nassau and 
Beekman streets. The library contains 
about 17,000 volumes, and is yearly in- 
creasing. The Library Association is 
composed of the merchants' clerks, a very 
enterprising body of young men. Seve- 
ral courses of lectures are delivered annu- 
ally, on scientific and popular subjects. 
The Lyceum of Natural History, and 
the Stuyvesant Institute, have chaste and 



.2 NEW 

elegant buildings on Broadway. The 
Lyceum has a library and museum. The 
N. Y. Society Library, founded in 1754, 
has above 20,000 volumes. It has recent- 
ly been united with the Athenaeum. The 
American Institute, incorporated in 1829, 
was established for the encouragement of 
domestic industry, in agriculture, manu- 
factures, and the arts. The Mechanics' 
Institute is somewhat similai- in its de- 
sign. Both societies have annual exhibi- 
tions of specimens of American indus- 
try. The New York Hospital, in Broad- 
way, opposite Pearl-street, was founded 
in 1771. It is supported, with its depen- 
dencies, by funds from the state, ^2,500 
a year ; and other incomes amounting to 
about S70,000 a year. The Lunatic Asy- 
lum, at Bloomingdale, is connected with 
this institution. The Almshouse estab- 
lishment, at Bellevue, on the East river, 
embraces several large and commodious 
buildings; and the Long Island Farms, 
opposite Blackwells Island, where be- 
tween 600 and 700 poor children are sup- 
ported and educated. The Institution of 
the Blind is one of the most interesting 
among the benevolent institutions. It 
was incorporated in 1831. According to 
the report of 1838, the whole number of 
pupils since the commencement was 77 ; 
of whom 64 remained. The pupils are 
taught music, and to read by raised let- 
ters, which they do with remarkable fa- 
cility. The are instructed also in the va- 
rious branches of arithmetic, geography, 
grammar, &c., and several of the mechan- 
ical branches, such as basket-making, 
carpet-weaving, &c. The state appropria- 
ted S12,000 towards the erection of a new 
building, on condition that the institution 
would raise $8,000 ; which has been done, 
and the building, which is to be a very 
elegant structure, is pai-tly finished. The 
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb is also 
a highly meritorious charity, to which the 
state appropriates annually about $17,500. 
The number of pupils is between 140 and 
150. Its location is 3i miles from the 
City Hall, on a plat of 10 acres, 9 of 
which are leased from the corporation. 
The Hall of Justice, on centre-street, is a 
fine massive building, of Egyptian archi- 
tecture. 

Among other religious and benevolent 
institutions, the following deserve partic- 
ular notice. The American Bible Socie- 
ty ; American Tract Society ; American 
Home Missionary Society ; N. Y. Sun- 
day School Union; General Protestant 
Episcopal Sunday School Union ; N. Y. 
Protestant Episcopal Exlucation and Mis- 
sionary Society; Roman Catholic Be-

ciety ; Methodist Book Concern ; Bible, 
Tract, and Sunday School Union of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church ; American 
Anti-slavery Society ; Roman Catholic 
Orphan Asylum ; St. Joseph's Catholic 
Institution, for the relief of half orphans. 

The Apprentices Library was estab- 
lished in 1820, by the General Society of 
Mechanics and Tradesmen, who have 
also an excellent school. The College of 
Physicians and Surgeons is in a flourish- 
ing state. College of Pharmacy, incor- 
porated in 1831, to prevent impositions 
and errors in tlie preparation of medicine 
— a very meritorious institution. 

There are four theatres, an opera house, 
and three principal public gardens for 
amusement — Niblo's, Vauxhall, and Cas- 
tle gardens. The Battery, at the extreme 
isouth point of the city, is a beautiful pro- 
jnenade, favored with the sea breeze, and 
a delightful prospect of the bay. Wash- 
ington Square is another public walk, 
adorned with shade trees. St. John's 
Park is not open to the public. There 
are several other squares, but none are 
open for public resort except the Park. 

New York is destined to continue, as 
it now is, the commercial metropolis of 
the Union. From its central position, its 
proximity to the sea, and favored with a 
harbor that can be entered at all seasons, 
and an extensive inland trade by means 
of its_rivers, canals, and rail roads, its 
great facilities for commerce are unrival- 
led in this country, and perhaps in the 
world. The amount of duties paid into 
.this port for several years, is as follows : 

In the year 1830, $15,012,553 

1831, 20,096,136 

1832, 15,070,124

Previous to the general banking law, 
passed by the legislature in 1838, the 
banking capital of the city amounted to 
S16,61 1,200. Under that law, several 
banking associations have been establish- 
ed with large capitals, including a branch 
of the Pennsylvania Bank of the United 
States.

The public schools are justly the pride 
of the city. They are 17 in number; the 
buildings are large and convenient, two 
stories high, with a basement. There 
are also 28 primary schools, two African 
public schools, and 6 primary African 
schools ; the whole under the management 
of the Public School Society, composed 
of some of the most respectable and be- 
nevolent individuals. The number of 
scholars is about 14,500; the number 
taught for the year ending May 1, 1837, 
was 17,932 scholars between the ages of 
4 and 16 years. The average number in 
actual attendance was about 10,000 ; t-he 
board of trustees are between 80 and 90 
in number, divided into sections, one of 
which is attached to each of the buildings. 
The annual receipts from the Commis- 
sioners of the School Fund, are from 
S85,000 to S90,000. Expenses for teachers 
and monitors, about $50,000. Other ex- 
penses, including building, repairs, fix- 
tures, fuel, stationery, &c. $40,000. All 
children have the privilege of attending 
these schools free of charge, not as charity 
or free schools, but as the common right 
of all. The teachers are of the highest 
character for moral worth and mental 
qualification ; and all the branches of 
English education are taught. 

The city is governed by a mayor and 
common council, consisting of a board of 
aldermen, and a board of assistant alder- 
men. Each ward elects an alderman and 
an assistant. The corporation owns a 
large real estate, which is constantly in- 
creasing in value. 

Besides the splendid lines of packets to 
Europe, there is now a regular line of 
steam packets just established between 
this city and England, the average pas- 
sages of which are reduced to half the or- 
dinary time of the regular packet ships ; 
forming a new and important era in steam 
navigation. 

The city at present is poorly supplied 
with water. The principal supply is 
from the Manhattan Works, and the 
wells. The corporation have erected 
reservoirs in 13th street, and laid pipes 
through the principal streets for the supply

of water to extinguish fires only. But it 
is now engaged in the great work of 
bringing the waters of the Croton r. 41 
m. distant, to the city, in a stone aque- 
duct. The supi^ly of the r. is estimated 
at from 30 millions (the minimum) to 50 
millions of gallons daily. The cost of 
the work is estimated at S'5,41'2,336. 

The city contained in 165fj, 120 houses. 
In 1G9G, the population was4,302; in 1771, 
21.865; in 1786, '23,616 ; in 1790,33,131:

1833— 5,746 

1834— 9,082 

1835— 7,033

Of those who died in 1836, 5,721 were 
natives of the U. States ; 1 ,378 of Ireland ; 
313 of England; and 213 of Germany. 

There are 160 churches in the city, of 
which 136 have been founded since the 
year 1800. Of the whole number, there 
are 38 Presbyterian ; 28 Episcopalian ; 
25 Methodist ; 23 Baptist ; 16 Dutch Re- 
formed ; 7 Catholic; and 23 churches of 
all the other denominations. 

There are ten large and five small 
daily papers; nine semi-weekly, about 
thirty-two weekly papers, and twenty 
monthly and quarterly periodicals. 

NU'Vr YORK, one of the U. 
States, bounded N. by Lake Ontario and 
Canada ; E. by Vermont, Massachusetts 
and Connecticut; S. by N. Jersey and 
Pennsylvania ; W. by Pennsylvania, 
Lake Erie, and Niagara r. and NW. by 
St. Lawrence r. Greatest length E and 
W. excluding Long Island, 340 miles ; 
greatest breadth N. and S 310 m. Area, 
excepting the large lakes, 45,650 square 
m. or 29,219,636 acres.* 

New York was first explored by Henry 
Hudson, an English navigator, in the 
employ of the Dutch East India Compa- 
ny ; who in 1609. sailed 150 m. up the 
r. which has taken his name. Settle- 
ments were made by the Dutch in 1612, 
at Fort Orange, now Albany, and Fort 
Amsterdam, now New York ; and a trade 
with the natives was established at these 

♦The Comptroller's report of 1837, gives 
27,650,358 acres, wltich docs not include 
the smaller lakes, &c. 



places. Considerable difiiculties existed 
between the Dutch and the English for 
some time, the latter disputing the claims 
of the Dutch to the country ; which how- 
ever were at length acquiesced in. The 
territory of the Dutch colony, though not 
accurately defined, was considered to ex- 
tend from Fort Goed Hoop, on Connecti- 
cut r. to Fort Nassau, on Delaware r. 
In 1664, Charles II. set up anew the Eng- 
lish claim to the whole country, from 
Nova Scotia to Delaware bay, and grant- 
ed it to his brother, the Duke of York and 
Albany, and immediately despatched a 
fleet and took possession of it. The 
name of the colony was changed to New 
York. On the breaking out of the war 
between the Dutch and English in 1673, 
New York fell into the hands of the 
Dutch, but was restored to the English 
the next year, by treaty. It now remain- 
ed a British colony until the revolution in 
1776. During the wars with the French, 
the northern parts of the colony were the 
scenes of several bloody contests with the 
French and savages of Canada. In 1790, 
Vermont, which had before formed part 
of N. Y. was formed into a separate state. 

The general surface of the state is ele- 
vated, having several great basins and 
valleys formed by the lakes and the large 
rivers. The Appalachian chain of moun- 
tains enters the state from N. Jersey and 
Pennsylvania, and is broken by the Hud- 
son r. along whose shores it is called the 
Highlands. TheCattskill mountains W. 
of the Hudson, the highest in the state, 
are from 3,000 to 3,800 feet above the 
tide. In the N. part of the state is an- 
other elevated region called the Peruvian 
mountains, among which are the sources 
of the Hudson. Their highest summit 
is near 3,000 feet. 

The climate is varied by the extent of 
surface embraced in this state. Along 
the Hudson as far up as the Highlands, 
and in the neighborhood of N. Y. city, 
the climate partaking of the sea air, is 
milder than in the interior, the winds 
from the ENE & SE. generally bringing 
rain. In the N. parts of the state, above 
the Highlands, the weather is more se- 
vere in winter, and snow lays longer. 
The ice in the Hudson usually breaks up 
about the 10th or 15th of March. The 
climate in the middle and western section, 
though a few degrees colder than in the 
SE. part, is considerably less so than in 
the elevated regions in the N. and E. parts 
of the state. 

The soil is generally diversified. Along 
the valley of the Mohawk it is extremely 
fertile, and productive of wheat, Indian

corn, &c. but best adapted to the latter. 
A large district extending from Cayuga 
lake W. including the entire valley of 
Genesee r. is celebrated for the growth of 
wheat. Some of the finest flour is sent 
from this region to the N. Y. market, 
where it always commands a high price. 
The E. part of L. Island contains sandy 
plains ; the W. part is a better soil, and 
highly cultivated. The principal pro- 
ductions of the state are wheat and other 
grains, beef, pork, pot and pearl ashos, 
butter, cheese, lumber, &c. Gypsum is 
abundant in the W. parts, and extensively 
used as a manure. Fine marble exists 
and is manufactured at Sing Sing. In 
the N. part of the state are large beds of 
iron ore. Gneiss, granite, limestone, and 
mica slate are found abundantly in the 
Highlands and many other parts of the 
state. There are many mineral springs. 
Those that have attained most celebrity 
are in the co. of Saratoga, known as the 
Saratoga & Ballston Springs, possessing 
medicinal qualities. There are also the 
New Lebanon and Clifton Springs, the 
former near the Shaker v. the other near 
Farmington, Ontario co. Among the 
natural curiosities are the Niagara Falls; 
Genesee Falls, on Genesee r. below Ro- 
chester, about 90 feet perpendicular; 
Trenton Falls, on West Canada cr. ; Co- 
hoes Falls, on the Mohawk, near the 
Hudson ; Glens Falls, on the Hudson, 18 
m. above Saratoga; Little Falls, on the 



Falls, on the Hudson ; and Claverack 
Falls, on a stream near the city of Hud- 
son, and the sublime and picturesque 
cascades of the Catskill mountain. 

The principal rivers are the Hudson, 
Mohawk, Genesee, Niagara, St. Law- 
rence, Black, Oswegatchie, Oswego, Sa- 
ranac, and Tioga, a branch of the Sus- 
quehannah. 

The principal lakes are Erie, Ontario, 
and Champlain, which border on the state, 
lakes George, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, 
Crooked, Canandaigua, and Skaneateles. 

The principal cities and towns are 
New York, Albany, Brooklyn, Troy, 
Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, Schenectady, 
Poughkeepsie, Newburg, Hudson, Platts- 
burgh, Catskill, Geneva, Syracuse, Can- 
andaigua, Auburn, Lockport, Lansing- 
burg, Ithaca, Skaneateles, and Penn Yan. 

The commerce of the state principally 
centres at N. York city, which is the 
great seaport of the Union. The situa- 
tion of the state is admirably adapted for 
an extensive and increasing trade. Its 
noble river, the Hudson, connected as it 
is with lakes Champlain and Erie, by 
canals, must continually pour in the vast 
resources not only of the interior and N. 
part of the state, but of the great and 
growing states of the west. 

The following table will best exhibit 
the general statistics of the state, includ- 
ing the number of manufactories of the 
various kinds, and their increase or de-

The year preceding 1835, there were 
24,175,357 yards of cotton cloth, and 
6,626,058 yards of woollen cloth manu- 
factured, as given in the same returns. 
The above table shows that the number 
of acres improved within the preceding 
ten years is 2,399,378 ; the whole quanti- 
ty returned as improved is about one-third 
the area of the whole state. But the 
number of acres under actual cultivation 
is probably not over one-fifth. The num- 
ber of inhabitants to the square mile is 
about 47 62-100. In 1825, there were 
about 37 inhabitants to the square mile. 
The number of cattle of every descrip- 
tion has increased in ten years 1,399,628. 
The decrease in domestic cotton and wool- 
len manufactures is attributed to the in- 
crease of these manufactures in the coun- 
try generally, and the reduced prices at 
which they can be purchased. 

It is exceedingly gratifying to notice 
the decreased number of dislillerips, from 
2,129 in 1825 to 693 in 1835— being a de- 
crease of 1,413 in ten years, or 141 year- 
ly. This evidence of moral improvement 
is undoubtedly to be attributed to the salu- 
tary influence of the temperance reforma- 
tion. 

The following table exhibits the popu- 
lation at the different periods when a 
census was taken. In 1700 it was estima- 
ted at 30,000; in 1775 at 238,000 inhabi- 
tants. No census was taken before 1790.

The assessed value of real and personal 
estate in 1836, was ^672,372,484. The 
amount of county taxes for 1836 was 
^768,426 ; the amount of town taxes, 
4^1,734,037: total, $2,502,463— being s 
small fraction less than 40 cents on $100 

The state of New York, while makino 
such rapid advances in the improvement 
of her physical condition, has not neglect- 
ed to provide liberally the means of edu- 
cation. And nothing is now needed but 
a corresponding interest on the part of the 
people, in behalf of their colleges and 
schools, to give her a moral and mental 
elevation corresponding with her com- 
manding destiny. The following is a 
list of the colleges and theological semi- 
naries : 

Columbia College, (Episcopalian,) in 
New York, founded in 1754. Union, in 
Schenectady, founded 1795. Hamilton, 
in Clinton, founded 1812. Hamilton Lite- 
rary and Theological, (Baptist,) in Ham- 
ilton, founded 1819. Geneva, (Episcopa- 
lian,) in Geneva, founded 1823. Univer- 
sity of New York, in New York, founded 
1831. Theological Institute of the Epis- 
copal Church, in New York, commenced 
operation 1819. New York Theological 
Seminary, in New York. Theological 
Seminary of Auburn, (Presbyterian,) 
commenced 1821. Hartwick Seminary, 
Otsego county, (Lutheran,) commenced 
1816. Theological Seminary of the As- 
sociate Reformed Church, Newburg, com- 
menced 1836. Nyack College, (Catliolic,) 
30 m. N. of New York, on the Hudson. 
College of Physicians and Surgeons, in 
New York. Geneva Medical College. 
Poughkeepsie Collegiate School. 
"^ ^ 28 



In addition to these, there are in the 
state 64 incorporated academies, each 
drawing an income from the Literature 
Fund. The Albany Academy, and the 
two Albany Female Seminaries, stand de- 
servedly high. 

A department has been established in 
one academy in each of the eight Senate 
Districts, for the education of common 
school teachers. The number of student^ 
in these departments was, in 1835, 108 ; 
in 1836, 218; in 1837,284; at an ex- 
pense of $3,200, or $400 for each depart- 
ment. 

The number of School Districts in the 
state, reported by the superintendent in 
Jan. 1838, for the year 1836, was 10,345, 
from 9,718 of which reports were receiv- 
ed. The number of new districts formed 
during the year was 138. The schools 
were kept an average period of seven 
months. Whole number of children be- 
tween the ages of 5 and 16 years, 536,882, 
Whole number taught, 524,188. Amount 
of public money distributed to the districts 
in 1837, $342,811. Amount paid for 
teachers' wages besides public money, 
$436,346. Of the public money raised 
in 1836, $119,332 was received from the 
state and local funds, and $216,562 was 
raised by tax in the several towns. » 

A new school law was passed April 
17, 1838, appropriating an additional an- 
nual sum of $110,000 to the common 
schools ; also, $55,000 annually for three 
years towards the purchase of a library 
in each district. Each school is required 
to be taught at least four months by an 
inspected teacher.

Paupers are supported by a tax on the 
inhabitants of the counties where they be- 
long. Most of the counties are provided 
with poor-houses, with farms attached.

The value of the labor of paupers in 
1836, was $39,124. There are 6,217i 
acres of land attached to the poor-houses. 
The value of the poor-house establish- 
ments is estimated at $1,433,775. Of the 
number relieved or supported during the 
year, there were 6,874 foreigners ; 786 
lunatics ; 271 idiots ; and 77 deaf and 
dumb. 

There are two state prisons, one at 
Mount Pleasant, or Sing Sing, the other 
at Auburn, each under the direction of 
five inspectors, who report annually to the 
Legislature. All convicts are kept at 
hard labor during the day, and are con- 
fined in separate cells at night. Such is 
the efficiency and economy in the manage- 
ment of the prisons, that the income from 
the labor of the convicts exceeds the ex- 
penses — ^so that they are no longer a bur- 
den to the stale. Of 747 persons in the 
Aubtirn prison, 311 had a ver/ poor edu- 
cation, and 203 were unable to read the 
Bible—well educated, only 12. Of the 
same number, 561 were intemperate before 
conviction, 177 were temperate drinkers, 
and only 9 total abstinents. 

The Legislature is composed of a Sen- 
ate of 32 iTiembers, who are elected for 
four years, eight being chosen annually, 
one from each senatorial district, and a 
House of Representatives consisting of 
128 members. The pay of each member 
is three dollars a day. The Lieut. Gov- 
ernor, and President of the Senate, re- 
ceives six dollars a day during the ses 
sion. 

The Governor is elected for two years 
He receives an annual salary of $4,000 
is provided with a dwelling house, and 
receives for postage and other contingent 
expenses, $750. His private secretary 
receives $600 per annum. 

The Secretary of State is also Super- 
intendent of Schools, and receives for his 
services $1,750 per annum. 

The Comptroller has charge of the fis- 
cal concerns of the state, and receives 
$2,500 a year. The Canal Commission- 
ers each receive $2,000 a year. Th( 
Treasurer receives $1,500, and the Depu 
ty Secretary of Slate, $1,500. 

The Chancellor and Justices of the Su- 



preme Court receive $2,500 a year each- 
The eight Circuit Judges receive each 
$1,600. 

There were in 1837, (according to Wil- 
liams,) attorneys and counsellors, 2,161 ; 
practising physicians and surgeons, 
2.876 ; clergy of different denominations, 
2; 192. 

Internal Improvements. — The success- 
ful issue of the great system of internal 
improvements commenced in New York 
alxiul 21 years ago, has not only had in- 
fluence upon her own prosperity, but upon

cipal canals, except the Delaware & Hud- 
son, have been constructed by the state. 
The rail roads have been undertaken by 
incorporated companies. The Mohawk

NIAGARA Falls, a stupendous cata-

fall perpendicularly 164 feet on the Amer- 
ican side, and 170 feet on the Canada side. 
The roar of the fulls is heard 15 m and 
at times from 30 to 40 m. Goat Island 
divides the falls into two unequal parts, 
and is connected with the Ameruan shore 
by a bridge. The W. side of the falls 
presents an irregular arch, called the 
Horse-shoe Fall. A staircase is con- 
structed from Goat Island to the rocks be- 
low, by which the spectator may approach 
some distance under the arch formed by 
the falling waters. Splendid and com- 
modious hotels are erected in the neigh- 
borhood of the falls ; wliich in the sum- 
mer season are crowded with visiters, 
who come from all parts of the country 
to view this most sublime spectacle in the 
world of the kind.

half a m. to a m. in width. The r. is di- 
vided into two channels by Grand Island, 
below which it is one m. in width. Its 
width diminishes for 3 m. to about three- 
quarters of a m. to the great cataract. 
The whole length of the r. to L. Ontario, 
is 35 miles ; the entire fall, 336 feet.

UORTH CAIICI.IXTA, 

one of the United States, bounded N. by 
Virginia, E. by the Atlantic, S. by South 
Carolina and Georgia, and W. by Ten- 
nessee. Its extreme length from E. to W. 
(not including Cape Hatteras,) is 480 ra. 
Its extreme breadth, N. and S. 185 m. 
Area about 50,000 square m. 

The first attempt to colonize the Caro- 
linas was made by the French in the reign 
of Charles IX. from whom the name was 
derived, which was defeated by the Span- 
iards. Sir Walter Raleigh visited the 
country in 1584, and in the following year 
another attempt to settle it was made, but 



NOR

■no traces of the settlers were ever after 
discovered, having been, in all probabili- 
ty, murdered by the Indians. In 1640, 
several settlements were made by a num- 
ber of persons who left Virginia on ac- 
count of religious persecutions. In 1659, 
a small colony from Massachusetts estab- 
lished themselves on the banks of Cape 
Fear r. and left the country in 1663. At 
this time other settlements were made, and 
the plan of government afterwards adopt- 
ed by the colony embraced the scheme 
of the celebrated John Locke. There 
was an hereditary nobility, and the chief 
magistrate was called the Palatine. The 
plan was abandoned as impracticable in 
1693. In 1717, the colony came under 
the royal government, as the other colo- 
nies were, and remained so until the revo- 
lution. In 1729 it was separated from S. 
Carolina, with which it had always been 
united. The present constitution was 
adopted in 1776, and amended in 1835. 

The surface of the state in the E. sec- 
tion is an extensive plain, with consider- 
able swamps, and generally poor land, ex- 
cept on the margin of the rivers, which is 
very fertile. In the'middle section the 
land is more hilly, and tlie W. limit is 
marked by a range of the Appalachian 
system, which take the names of Yellow, 
Iron, Smoky and Unaka Mountains. 
The Blue Ridge forms a parallel range, 
from 15 to 35 m. E. The suit in the W. 
part of the stale is ihe most fertile, and 
the country in general very beautiful. 
The climate is temperate and healthy. In 
the E. parts it is unhealthy in the summer 
season, being subject to prevailing bilious 
and intermittent fevers. The winters are 
mild and agreeable. 

Immense regions of the country are 
covered with pitch pine, aflTording large 
quantities of tar and turpentine for ex- 
port. Indian corn and other small grains 
are raised in considerable quantities. 
Cotton, rice and tobacco are also produc- 
ed. There are very few harbors on the 
coast, and much of the trade finds its way 
into Virginia and South Carolina. Lum- 
ber, grain, flour and provisions are arti- 
cles of export. 

Iron ore abounds in many parts of the 
state, but very little is done in manufic- 
turing it. The gold mines have attracted 
great attention. The gold region embra- 
ces about 1,000 square miles. Part of the 
gold is obtained by mining, and part by 
washing the sand and gravel found in the 
gullies and beds of creeks. In 1824, this 
state furnished for the U. S. mint, gold to 
the value of S5,000 ; in 1825, S17,000; 
in 1829, $134,000; in 1832, $458,000; 



in 1834, S'380,000; in 1835, $263,500; 
in 1836, $148,100 : total amount to 1836, 
$2,465,000 — besides which, large quanti- 
ties have been exported and otherwise dis- 
posed of Since 1833 the quantity has 
annually decreased. 

There are a number of cotton manufac- 
tories, which are rapidly increasing. The 
first in the state was established in 1818, 
at the falls of Tar r, in Edgecombe co. 

The principal rivers of the state are the 
Roanoke, Chowan, Cape Fear, Pamlico, 
Tar, Neuse and Yadkin. 

The chief towns are Newbern, Fay- 
etteville, Wilmington, and Raleigh, the 
seat of government. 

The principal sounds and bays are 
Pamlico Sound and Albemarle Sound, 
and Onslow and Raleigh bays. The 
prominent capes are Fear, Lookout and 
Hatteras. 

The Legislature is composed of a Sen- 
ate of 50 members, and a House of Com- 
mons of 120 representatives, who are 
chosen for two years. The Legislature 
meets biennially. The governor is also 
chosen for two years, and cannot hold his 
office more than four years out of any 
term of six years. His salary is $2,000, 

There is a Hterary fund fur the support 
of common schools, consisting of swamp 
lands, estimated at 1,500,000 acres, valu- 
ed at $1,000,000, to which has been added 
from the U. S. surplus fund, $1,000 UOO,* 
and the future dividends from works of 
internal improvement. 

The colleges in the state are, the Uni- 
versity of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill, 
founded in 1791, containing 8 instructors, 
130 students, and 5,000 volumes in the 
library. Davidson College, at Mecklen- 
burg, founded in 1837. Besides these, 
(here are the Episcopal School at Raleigh; 
Manual Labor School at Fayetieville ; 
Manual Labor School at Wake Forest, 
and the Female Seminary at Salem. 

The population in 1790 was 393,950; 
in IKOO, 478,103; in 1810, 555,500; in 
1820, 638,829; in 1830,737,987, of whom 
245,601 were slaves.

OHIO R. from which the state is nam- 
ed, is formed by the confluence of the Al- 
leghany and Monongahela at Pittsburg, 
in the W. part of Pa. After a course of 
908 m. it flows into the Mississippi. Its 
breadth varies from 400 to 1,400 yards. 
Below Cumberland r. its average width 
is over a mile. At Cincinnati it is 800 
yards, which is its mean breadth. The 
elevation of the Ohio at Pittsburg is 678 
feet, and at its junction with the Missis- 
sippi r. at low water, 283 — having a fall 
of 395 feet in its entire length. The cur- 
rent of the river is gentle, and varies from 
two to four miles an hour. The only ob- 
struction in general to navigation is the 
rapids at Louisville, where there is a ca- 
nal to avoid them. The river is naviga- 
ble for large steamboats half the year 
through its entire course. Its lowest stage 
is in September, and in March it is at its 
highest. Its depth varies at the different 
periods about fifty feet, and sometimes 
rises 10 or 12 feet in a single night. The 
Ohio flows through a fine, rich country, 
and from the beauty of the stream was 
called by the French discoverers " la belle 
riviere" 

OHIO, one of the United States, 
bounded N. by Lake Erie and the state of 
Michigan, E. by Pennsylvania and Vir- 
ginia, S. by Virginia and Kentucky, and 
W. by Indiana. It is about 220 m. long 
by 220 broad, contains 44,000 square m. 
and returns 16,400,000 acres for taxation. 

The territory now forming the state, 



OHI 2 

was embraced in 1787 as part of the " ter- 
ritory northwest of the river Ohio." The 
first settlers were 47 emigrants, under 
Gen. Rufus Putnam and Rev. Menas- 
seh Cutler, from the counties of Middle- 
sex and Essex, Mas. who established 
themselves at Marietta, at the mouth of 
Muskingum r. on the 7th of April, 1788. 
The next year another settlement was 
made on the Ohio, 6 m. above the site of 
Cincinnati. The inhabitants were much 
exposed to hostilities from the Indians for 
a number of years, which were not effec- 
tually stopped until they were subdued by 
Gen. Wayne in 1795. From this period 
the settlement and prosperity of the terri- 
tory have been unexampled. In 1802, it 
was admitted into the Union as an inde- 
pendent state, and in 1830 it was the fourth 
state in population in the Union. In 
1790, the population was 3,000; in 1800, 
45,305 ; in 1810, -230,700 ; in 1820, 581,434 ; 
in 1830, 935,b72. Of this last number 
there were deaf and dumb, 426 ; blind, 
232 ; free colored persons, 9,567. 

The general surface of the state is re- 
markably level, exhibiting a moderate 
elevation of table land, but no mountains 
nor any considerable hills. The soil is 
very fertile, and the greater portion of the 
state fit for cultivation. Indian corn is 
■raised in great abundance, and may be 
considered the staple. Hemp, flux and 
tobacco can also be raised in considerable 
quantities. Taken as a whole, there is 
no section of country in the world per- 
haps equally productive. Coal and iron 
are abundant in the eastern parts of the 
state. Marble is found in many places, 
and salt springs are numerous. The cli- 
mate is generally mild, and warmer than 
other parts of the country in the same 
latitude. Except in the neighborhood of 
the marshes and flats, it is very healthy. 

Among the curiosities are the numerous 
ancient mounds scattered over various 
parts of the state. Their origin is very 
uncertain. Some of them are from 40 to 
70 feet high, with a level area of 40 feet 
diameter at the top, and a circumference 
at the base of 400 to 500 feet. There 
are also numerous ancient fortifications of 
a circular form. 

The principal rivers are the Ohio, which 
forms the entire S. boundary of the state, 
Muskingum, Scioto, Gt. Miami, Lit. Mi- 
ami, Maumee, Cuyahoga and Sandusky. 

The principal cities and towns are Cin- j 
cinnati, Cleaveland, Zanesvillc, Colum-j 
bus, the capital, Chillicothe, Steubenville, 
Dayton and Circleville. 

Ohio is admirably situated for trade. 
Her central position, her noble rivers and 



39 OHI 

extensive lines of canals, must always 
secure to her enterprize a great and in- 
creasing commerce. 

There are a number of large cotton and 
woollen manufactories, and a great quan- 
tity of domestic goods are made. 

The Legislature consists of a Senate 
and House of Representatives. Senators 
are chosen for two years, and representa- 
tives annually. The governor is elected 
for two years. His salary is S1)000. 

Among the institutions of learning are 
the following : — University of Ohio, at 
Athens, founded 1821 ; has 2,000 volumes 
in the library. Miami University, at 
Oxford, founded 1824 ; 4,000 volumes in 
the library. Franklin College, at New 
Athens, founded 1825; 1,100 volumes in 
the library. Western Reserve College, 
at Hudson, founded 1826 ; 2,000 volumes 
in the library. Kenyon College, at Gam- 
bier, founded 1828 ; 2,300 volumes in the 
library. Granville College, at Granville, 
founded 1832 ; 3,000 vols, in the library. 
Marietta College, at Marietta, founded 
1832 ; 2,.500 vols, in the library. Oberlin 
Institute, at New Elyria ; Cincinnati Col- 
lege ; Woodward College, at Cincinnati, 
and Willoughby University, at Chagrin. 
There are theological departments in 
Kenyon, Granville and Western Resei've 
Colleges; Lane Theolog. Seminary, and 
a theological school at Columbus. There 
is also a medical college at Cincinnati. 

The state has a considerable fund de- 
voted to common school instruction. An 
excellent system has been established, and 
great efforts are being made to improve it 
as much as possible. The lands set apart 
for the school fund amount to over half a 
million of acres, some of which have been 
sold, and some let out on lease. 

Internal Improvements. — The astonish- 
ing and rapid growth and prosperity of 
the state of Ohio, is equalled only by her 
magnificent works of internal improve- 
ment. It is only thirty-six years since 
she was admitted as a state into the Un- 
ion, and now there are near 500 miles of 
navigable canal finished and in operation, 
and about 200 miles of canal and 100 
miles slack water navigation under con- 
tract to be finished in 1839. There are 
also other canals and river improvements 
projected, which will soon swell the 
amovmt of inland navigation in this young 
state to upwards of 1,000 miles. 

The Ohio Canal extends from Cleave- 
land, on Lake Erie, to Portsmouth on 
the Ohio ; length, 307 m. ; commenced 
1825, finished 1832. There is a navigable 
feeder to Zanesville, 14 m. ; one to Co- 
lumbus, 10 m. ; and one to Lancaster, 9 m.

in two principal branches, the longest of 
which, Lewis r. rises in about lat. 40°, 
near Long's Peak. The N. branch is 
called Flat Head r. or Clark's Fork, and 
rises in about 46° N. lat. The Walla- 
mut, or Multnomah, is another principal 
branch. Vessels of 300 tons ascend the 
r. as far as the Multnomah, 120 miles. 
Sloops may ascend to the head of tide- 
water, 184 miles ; above this, th^re are 
rapids which interrupt the navigation. 
The whole length is about 1,500 miles. 
This river derived the name of Columbia 
from the ship Columbia, Capt. Gray, of

O H. E G O U Territory, a large sec- 
tion, W. of the Rocky Mountains, ex- 
tending from 42° to 54° N. lat. and to the 
Pacific Ocean on the W. containing about 
300,000 square m. Besides the Rocky 
Mountains, there are two parallel ridges of 
mountains and several high peaks. The 
Oregon r. and its tributaries are the prin- 
cipal rs. The climate is mild and agree- 
able. The tops of the mountains are co- 
vered with perpetual snow. Much of the 
country is composed of extensive prairies. 
Pine and hemlock abound in the neigh- 
borhood of the sea shore. The soil in the 
valleys and along the shores of the riv- 
ers, is very fertile. 

The principal articles of trade are furs, 
seal-skins, &c. Astoria is the principal 
settlement, where the Americans have a 
trading establishment. The country was 
first discovered by the Spaniards. In 
1805, Lewis and Clark descended the r. 
and wintered on the shores of the Pacific. 
The Indians in the territory are estimated 
at 140 000.

PENNSYLVANIA, one 
of the United States, bounded N. by New 
York, E. by New Jersey, S. by Delaware, 
Maryland and Virginia, and W by Vir- 
ginia and Ohio. Greatest length E. and 
W. 305 m — breadth, 160 m. — containing 
about 46,500 square m. 

The territory was first settled by some 
Swedes in 1628, which was afterwards 



broken up by the Dutch from New York, 
whose settlements were also in turn seized 
by the English. In 1681, William Penii, 
a Gluaker, who was the son of Admiral 
Sir Wm. Penn. obtained a grant from 
Charles II. for the territory, including 
Delaware, and immediately commenced 
the settlement of it. He arrived at New 
Castle in 1682, and fixed the site of Phila- 
delphia as the capital, then called Coal 
qunnock, and laid out that city. In 1799 
Delaware became a distinct colony. The 
settlement for 70 years was happily free 
from all disturbances with the Inditins, 
which marked the early history of tiie 
other colonies. In 1718, Penn died in 
England, aged 74. The original charter 
continued until after the revolution. In 
1790, a constitution was established, 
which continued until 1838, when a new 
constitution was formed. 

Most of the central part of the state is 
mountainous. The AUeghanies, of the 
Appalachian chain, extend in a number 
of ridges in aNE. course — the nearest on 
the E. being about 150 to 170 miles from 
the sea. They are known by various 
names, the Kittatiny or Blue Mountains, 
Tuscarora Mountains, Ragged INloun- 
tains, Great Warrior Mountain, Laurel 
Hill and the Alleghany Mountains, which 
are the highest elevations. Most of these 
mountains are thickly covered with wood. 
E. and W. of the mountain ranges, the 
country is level or moderately undulating, 
and the soil fertile and productive in wheat 
and all kinds of grains and fruits. 

The climate E.andW. of the moun- 
tains does not sensibly differ from that of 
other sections in the same parallels of 
latitude. In the mountainous regions, 
the winters are colder, and the snow lays 
longer and deeper. 

The principal rivers are the Delaware, 
Susquehannah, Alleo^hany, iV1onnMi;alie- 
la, Yioughiogeny, Kiskiminetas, Juniata, 
Schuylkill and Lehigh. 

The most important towns are Phila- 
delphia, Pittsburg, Lancaster, Reading, 
Harrisburg, the capital, Easton. Bethle- 
hem, Norristown, Columbia, Doylestown 
and GermnntoW'n. 

Pennsylvania is a great manufacturing 
state. The principal manufactories are 
in Philadelphia and Pittsburg and their 
neighborhoods. The most extensive are 
of cotton, wool, iron, glass and paper. 
Salt is manufactured largely from springs 
in the W. part of the state. 

The foreign commerce of the state cen- 
tres nearly altogether at Philadelphia. 
The value of imports is from sf 12,000,000 
to $15,000,000 annually ; of exports, from

S4,000,000 to $5,000,000; the tonnage 
about 100,000. 

Anthracite coal abounds more exten 
sively in this state than any other in the 
Union. The coal region lies principally 
among the mountains which run parallel 
to the Blue Ridge, between that ridge and 
the Susquehannah, and along the valleys 
of the Wyoming and Lackawanna. The 
valley of the anthracite region is about 
60 miles long, and 5 to 6 broad. The 
coal beds vary in thickness from 3 feet to 
26, and are most extensive in the vicinity 
of Mauch Chunk, on the Lehigh. 

In the W. part of the state, bituminous 
coal is equally abundant. It is found 
along the Alleghany, Monongahela and 
Conemaugh rs. and elsewhere. In the 
neighborhood of Pittsburg it is very plen- 
tiful. 

A committee of the Pennsylvania Le- 
gislature, in 1836, estimated the improve- 
ments connected with the anthracite coal 
trade to be, canals and rail roads, 486 
miles, $9,720,937 ; colliers' boats, cars, 
&c. $1,270,280; capital in coal lands, 
$4,900,000; mining capital and value of 
towns, $3,375,000 : total, $19,166,217. 
The bituminous coal lands are supposed 
to comprehend 21,000 square miles, and 
the anthracite 975 square miles. The 
number of tons of anthracite coal shipped 
from the Schuylkill, Lehigh and Lacka- 
wanna mines, from 1820 to 1835, was 
2,498,024. 

In the bituminous coal region are also 
found many valuable salt springs, which, 
by boring, produce a strong solution. 

The Legislature is composed of a Sen- 
ate and House of Representatives. Sen- 
ators are chosen for four years, and the 
representatives annually. The governor 
is chosen for three years, and has a salary 
of $4,000. 

Among the institutions of learning are 
the following :— University of Pennsyl- 
vania, at Philadelphia; Carlisle College; 
Jefferson College, atCanonsburg ; Wash- 
ington College ; Alleghany College, at 
Meadville ; Western University, at Pitts- 
burg ; Pennsylvania College, at Gettys- 
burg ; Lafayette College, at Easton ; 
Haddington College ; Marshall College, 
at Mercersburg ; Medical Department in 
the University of Pennsylvania; Med- 
ical Department, Jefferson College, Phila- 
delphia. Of the theological seminaries, 
there are — The Seminary of the Lutheran 
Church of the U. S. at Gettysburg ; Ger- 
man Reformed, at York ; Western Theo- 
logical Seminary, at Alleghany ; Theo- 
logical School, atCanonsburg; Theolo- 
gical Seminary, at Pittsburg. I

The system of common schools embra- 
ces about 3,400 district schools, 3,500 
teachers, and 150,000 scholars. The 
whole number of children in the state be- 
tween 5 and 15 is about 330,000. Abou 
$200,000 annually of public money is ap- 
propriated to the schools. The public 
schools of Philadelphia are not includ- 
ed in the above. The state has a peni- 
tentiary at Philadelphia, and one at Pitts- 
burg.

Internal Improvements. — This state has 
undertaken the most gigantic system of 
internal improvement. She has already 
upwards of 600 miles of state canals and 
120 miles of rail roads in operation, which, 
with those in course of construction, will 
make, when completed, by the state and 
incorporated companies, 1,192 miles of 
canals, and 726 miles of rail roads — all 
undertaken since 1826 ; an achievement 
that would reflect honor upon the enter- 
prize of any nation in the world. 

The Pennsylvania state canals and 
rail roads consist of the following divis- 
ions : Columbia Rail Road, from Phila- 
delphia to Columbia, 81 5 miles ; Canal — 
eastern division, Columbia to Hollidays- 
burg, 171f ; Alleghany Portage Rail 
Road, Hollidaysburg to Johnstown, 36| ; 
Canal — western division, Johnstown to 
Pittsburg, 105 : total, 395 miles. 

The Beaver Canal extends from Bea- 
ver to New Castle, 25 miles long. 

The Mahonning and Beaver Canal is 
to extend from New Castle, Pa. to the 
Ohio Canal at Akron, O. 

The Pittsburg and Erie Canal, of which 
the Beaver Canal is a section, is to extend 
from Pittsburg to Lake Erie, 73^ miles. 

The following canals have been con- 
structed by incorporated companies : — 

Schuylkill, 108 miles ; cost $2,500,176. 

Union Canal, 80 miles, and navigable 
feeders, 24 miles — total, 104 miles; cost 
$2,000,000. 

Lehigh, 46| m. ; 53 m. cost $1,558,000. 

Lackawaxen, 25 miles, and rail road ;

PENN YAN, c. t. Yates co. N. Y. a 
flourishing village, situated about three- 
fourths of a mile below the foot of Crook- 
ed Lake, on the outlet, 16 m. SSW. of 
Geneva, 22 m. SE of Canandaigua, 30 
m. N. of Bath, 185 m. W. of Albany, 
and 314 m. N. of Washington City. 
Lying in a valley, on a fine plat of ground 
gently descending to the outlet, the ap- 
proach to the village on every side is very 
beautiful. From the road on the E. par- 
ticularly, the prospect is exceedingly pic- 
turesque — extending beyond the v to the 
waters of the lake, with the promontory 
of Bluff Point rising on the W. and in 
the still further distance the highlands of 
Steuben. The singular name of the v. 
originated in the fact that its founders 
were a Pennsylvanian and a Yankee— 



the first syllable of each name being um- 
ted. There were then only two or three 
houses and a post office. The first post- 
master was Abraham Wage tier, Esq. who 
was the original founder, and the Penn- 
sylvanian above mentioned. 

The village contains four churches — a 
Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist and 
Episcopalian — a new substantial court- 
house, with a portico and four doric col- 
umns, a jail, a bank, with a capital of 
S'100,000, an academy and several select 
schools, two grist and two saw mills, two 
printing offices, and two weekly papers. 

The situation of Penn Yan, in the cen- 
tre of a beautiful agricultural county, 
with no other town in the vicinity to share 
its trade, ensures it a permanent and in- 
creasing prosperity. The outlet of the 
lake, through its entire course of 7 miles 
into Seneca Lake, affords a first rate wa- 
ter power, having a descent of 269 feet, 
which is used for a large number of grist, 
saw and fulling mills. The Crooked Lake 
Canal, 8 m. long, is constructed along the 
outlet, and affords a communication from 
the V. through Seneca Lake and the Cayu- 
ga & Seneca Canal, with the Erie Canal. 
Pop. in 1838. about I,.50O.

PHIIiADELPHIA County, in the 
E. part of Pa. is bounded by Delaware, 
Montgomery and Bucks cos. and Dela- 
ware r. containing an area of about 155 
square m. Besides the city of Philadel- 
phia, the county contains several flourish- 
ing towns and settlements, viz: German- 
town, Frankfort, Manayunk, Holmes- 
burg, Bustletown, Hamilton & Mantua 
villasjes. The S. part of the co. is level, 
the N. part undulating and broken. Pop.

PHILADELPHIA City, Philadelphia 
CO. Pa. 93 m. NE. from Baltimore; 89 
SW. from New York; 296 SW. from 
Boston; 98 E. from Harrisburg, and 136 
m. NE. from Washington City. N. lat. 
39° 56' 51". W. Ion. 75° 10' 05" from 
Greenwich. The city is handsomely laid 
out on the W. bank of Delaware r. ex- 
lending 2 m. to the Schulykill, about 3 m. 
along the Delaware, and about 5 m. above 
the confluence of those rivers. 

Philadelphia was founded by William 
Penn, in 1682, and chartered in 1701. 
The streets of the city proper, (excluding 
the Liberties,) are laid out at right angles, 
generally abouf50 feet wide — and kept 
remarkably clean. The houses are most- 
ly of brick, of a neat, and many of them 
an elegant appearance. Among the pub- 
lic buildings are the United States Bank, 



U. S. Mint, State House, Girard Bank, 
Bank of Pennsylvania, and Pennsylva- 
nia Hospital. In the vicinity are Girard's 
College, the Alms House, and Naval Asy- 
lum. The U. S. Bank is a beautiful mar- 
ble structure, with 8 doric columns in front 
and 8 in the rear — built after the model of 
the Parthenon. The Girard College is a 
most magnificent building, of marble, sup- 
ported on all sides by Corinthian pillars. 
Connected with it are two chaste and 
commodious buildings, also of marble. 
The Mint, the Exchange, Pennsylvania 
Bank, Girard Bank, and Masonic Hall, 
are also beautiful buildings. Religious, 
benevolent, and literary institutions are 
numerous. There are upwards of 100 
houses for public worship. Among the 
charitable and benevolent institutions are 
the Asylums for orphans, deaf and dumb, 
widows and lunatics, Humane Society, 
and several Dispensaries. Among the 
literary institutions are the University, 
Philosophical Society, Atheeneum, Frank- 
lin Institute, Academy of Natural Science, 
Academy of Fine Arts, Medical Society, 
College of Pharmacy, College of Physi- 
cians, &c. In the State House, which is 
now occupied by the Courts, is the Hall 
in which Congress sat when the Declara- 
tion of Independence was adopted. The 
Arcade, a beautiful building, contains the 
Philadelphia Museum, long known as 
Peale's Museum. The Market Houses 
in Market street, reach from Front to 
Eighth streets. There are several other 
markets in diflferent parts of the town. 
They are all kept clean, and are well sup- 
plied with all kinds of farming produce. 
The public squares are beautifully adorn- 
ed with shade trees. 

One of the greatest undertakings in 
Philadelphia is the water works, on the 
Schulykill, at Fair Mount. A dam is 
thrown across the river, which affords 
power sufficient for the machinery which 
forces the water into large basins on the 
top of the Mount, from which the city is 
supplied by pipes laid in every street, 
extending over GO miles in length. The 
entire cost, including the former works, 
is about SI ,500,000. The expense of the 
works is only about ^4 a day. 

Philadelphia is a very extensive manu- 
facturing city. All the various branches 
of mechanic industry are carried on with 
great skill and perfection. Although en- 
joying an extensive commerce, its inland 
position is not so favorable in this respect 
as that of New York or Boston. For a 
considerable part of the winter the Dela- 
ware is closed with ice. 

Philadelphia is distinguished for its 



PHI

PHI 



seminaries of education and the literary 
spirit of its inhabitants. Besides the pub- 
lic schools, which are the pride of the city, 
private schools are numerous and of the 
highest character. The Society of Friends, 
who form a large and highly respectable 
class of the inhabitants, are noted for their 
attention to their schools and institutions 
of learning and science. Their children 
are educated particularly in the solid and 
useful branches. The various benevolent 
operations also owe much of their active 
usefulness and energy to members of this 
society. In the Philadelphia public and 
primary schools there are annually taught 
about 1-2,000 scholars. 

The Philadelphia Library, founded by 
Dr. Franklin, contains 45,000 volumes. 
The Philadelphia Society Library con- 
tains 10,000 volumes. There are several 
other very respectable libraries, and vari- 
ous literary institutions for mutual im- 
provement, which have a 'favorable influ- 
ence on the general character of its society.

CO. Pa. at the junction of the Alleghany

W. by N. from Philadelphia. This city 
is second only to Philadelphia in the state, 
and derives its importance principally 
from its manufactures, which are various 
and extensive, particularly in iron, glass, 
paper, cotton and wool. The country 
around abounds in inexhaustible quanti- 
ties of bituminous coal. The large use 
made of this fuel gives the buildings a 
dark and smoky appearance, similar to 
the large manufacturing towns of Eng- 
land. The city is very favorably situa- 
ted for trade and commerce. Numerous 
steamboats are annually built here for the 
western waters. The Pennsylvania state 
canals and rail roads centre here, and add 
greatly to the trade and wealth of the 
place. There is a fine bridge over the 
Alleghany, and another over the Monon- 
gahela, connecting the suburbs with the 
city. There are 16 churches, the Western 
University, a theological seminary of the 
Associate Reformed Church, an exchange, 
a museum, a high school, and a number 
of respectable private schools. The in- 
habitants are temperate, industrious and 
enterprising. The hills and country 
round in the summer season wear a fertile 
and luxuriant appearance. Pop. 1826,

RED R. of Lake Winnipeg, rises near

RED R. one of the principal tributaries 
of the Mississippi, rises at the base of the 
Rocky Mountains, near Santa Fe. The 



False Washita and Blue rs. are the main 

branches for near 400 m. It forms the 
boundary between the territory of the U. 
States and Texas, from 17° 45' to 23° W. 
from Washington. Entering the state of 
Ark. it flows b. into La. and in a south- 
easterly direction, until it enters the Mis- 
sissippi r. inlat. 31° N. Much of its course 
is through rich and beautiful prairies of 
red soil, covered with grass, and vines of 
delicious grapes. About 100 m. above 
Natchitoches, commences the Raft — a 
broad swampy expansion of 20 or 30 m. 
in width. The r. here dividing into nu- 
merous shallows, becomes covered and 
obstructed witli the masses of drift wood 
borne from the upper streams. Boats 
sometimes pass through these obstruc- 
tions, and are often obliged to follow a 
stream into a distant lake, and pass into 
the r. below the Raft through the outlet. 
The r. is thus impeded for about 60 or 70 
m. But for this, steambo.its could ascend 
to the delightful region of country above 
it. The valley of the r. for a great dis- 
tance above its mouth, is from G to 18 m. 
wide, and of superior fertility. Cotton 
is the staple. I'he whole length of this 
noble r. is estimated at 2,500 m.

HHODE ISIiAZO'D, one of 
the United Stales, bounded N. and E. by 
Massachusetts, S. by the Atlantic, and 
W. by Connecticut. Mean length from 
N. to S. about 42 miles; mean breadth, 
about 29 miles ; area 1,223 square m. It 
is the smallest state in the Union. 

The surface of the country is generally 
level, except in the NW. part, which is 
hilly and broken. The soil is best adapt- 
ed to grdzins; but the island of Rhode 
Isl.ind is fertile, and productive in all 
kinds of grain. The rivers and bays af- 
ford a great variety of excelleni fish. Iron 
abounds in considerable quantities. Cop- 
per is also found. The principal strrnuiis 
are the Providence, Pawtui-kit and Paw- 
tuxei rs Na>Taganset Bay exteiid.s from 
S to N. over 30 miles into the state, and 
contains a number of islands, among 
which are Rhode Island, Coniinicut, 
Pruden-e, Paiience, and Hope isl.mds. 
Block Island lies 10 m. S. of the co^st, in 
I he ocean. The climate is mild and salu- 
brious. 

The principal towns are Provid-nce, 
Newport, Bristol, Warwick, and Paw- 
tucket. 

The principal commercial and manu- 
fai-turing interests centre in Providence 
and the neighborhood. There are large 
manufactures of cotton, woollen, &c at 
Providence, Pawtucket, Warwick, and 
Slatersville. 

The General Assembly meets usually 
four limes a year, at Providence, New- 
port, E;ist Greenwich, and South Kings- 
ton. Rhode Island has no wriiten con- 
stitution, but retains the forms prescribed 
by the charter originally granted by 
Charles II. in 1663. 

There are about 650 common schools 
in the state, and 26,000 children of a suit- 
able age for instruction. The legislature 
appropriates annually SIOOOO for the sup- 
port of the schools; and this amount is 
increased by taxes laid in the towns. 
Brown University is the only college in 
the state. It was founded in 1764 at 
Warren, and removed to Providence in 
1770. 

The principal religious denominations 
are Baptists, Methodists, and Congrega- 
tionalists. 

Rhode Island was first settled at Provi-

RICHMOND, city, and port of entry, 
Henrico co. and capital of the state of 
•Virginia, situated on the N. side of James 
r. at the head of tide water, 150 m. above 
the mouth. 25 N. of Petersburg, and 123 
SW. of Washington. The situation of 
Richmond is healthy and agreeable. Thei 
houses are generally of brick, and have a 
neat appearance. The State House is 
justly admired for its architectural beauty. 
Among the places of public worship, is 
the Monumental Church, erected on the 
spot where the Richmond Theatre was 
burnt on the 25th Dec. 1811, at which the 
Governor of Va. and 71 other persons 
lost their lives. This city has considera- 
ble commerce and manufactures. Ves- 
sels drawing 15 feet can ascend the river 
to within 5 m. of Richmond, and vessels 
drawing 10 feet can come to Rockets, a 
little b'-low the city. The falls, in which 
the r. descends 80 feet in fi m. is avoided 
by a canal, and small boats reach over 
200 m. above them. The Penitentiary 
and the Va. armory are here. The popu- 
lation in 1820, was 12,016; in 1830, 16,0ti0, 
of which 6,345 were slaves, and 1,900 free 
blacks.

ROCHESTER, city, Monroe co. N. 
Y. situated on both sides t,f Genesee r. 7 
m. S. of Lake Ontario, 73 E. of Buffalo, 
219 W. of Albany, and 361 N. of Wash- 
ington City. The public buildings are a 
court house, fourteen churches an arcade, 
two market houses, three banks, and six 
fine hotels. The arcade is 100 feet front, 
135 deep, and six stories high The 1st 
Presbyterian and St Paul's (Episcopal) 
churches are fine buildings. There are 
three bridges across the river, and a new 
aqueduct is now being erected for the Erie 
Canal. 

Rochester owes its rise and greatness 
to the vast water power supplied by the 
Genesee r. Within the city limits the 
fall of the river is ^iiS feet. There are 22 
large flouring mills with 100 run of stones, 
averaging 500,000 barrels of flour a year. 
There are also a number of manufacto- 
ries and saw mills. Besides a large and 
increasing commerce by Lake Ontario, 
its internal trade through the Erie Canal 
is very extensive. Several of the lines of 
canal boats are owned here. In a few 
years, Rochester will also be connected 
with Albany and Buffalo by rail roads, 
which are now in a rapid course of con- 
struction. No city west of New York 
enjoys more of the substantial advantages 
of prosperity. Carthage, on the Genesee 
r. 2 m. below Rochester, and within its 
limits, is the port at which vessels and 
Steamboats arrive. A rail road extends 



from Rochester to Carthage, and it is pro- 
posed to continue it to Port Genesee on the 
lake. 

There are several literary institutions, 
and a large number of respectable schools ; 
two Institutes for the promotion of edu- 
cation, and the Franklin Institute and 
Atheeneum. There are 7 printing offices 
and six newspapers, two of which are 
daily. 

Rochester was founded in 1812, by 
Nathaniel Rochester, Wm.Fitzhugh, and 
Charles Carroll of Maryland, from the 
first of whom it took its name. It was 
incorporated as a village in 1817, and as 
a city 28th April, 1834. It includes an 
area of 4,324 acres. Pop. in 1820, 1,502; 
1830, 9,269 ; 1835, 14,404.

ROCKY Mountains, that part of the 
Chippewayan chain which lies in the west- 
ern possessions of the U. States, dividing 
the streams which flow into the Pacific, 
from those which flow towards the Atlan- 
tic. Their extent, height, and breadth, 
are much greater than those of the Alle- 
ghanies. In lat. 47° they are covered 
with snow in July. Frequent explosions 
and a loud rumbling noise are heai'd by 
trappers who visit them, supposed to be 
volcanic. Their appearance is dark, 
steril, and rugged. Some of the peaks 
are 12 to 18,000 feet high. Lewis and 
Clarke suffered greatly in crossing these 
mountains. On their return, in May, the 
snow was 10 feet deep. Captain Pike, in 
attempting to explore the southern parts 
"was completely bewildered in the snows 
and precipices, and lost a number of his 
party. Their geological structure, as far 
as known, appears to be granite.

population in the state, and the oldest 
town in New England except Plymouth, 
being settled in 1628. It is situated on a 
peninsula formed by two inlets from the 
sea, over one of which is a bridge over 
1,500 feet long, which connects Sdem with 
Beverly. Its commerce is chiefly with 
the East Indies, and a great amount of 
capital is invested in it. The harbor is 
good, and vessels drawing 12 feet water 
can be admitted to the town, and of great- 
er depth a short distance below. The 
houses are generally neat and in good 
taste, and some of them elegant. Most 
of those recently ei-ected are of brick. 
There are 16 churches of the various de- 
noroinations, eight banks, several insur- 
ance companies, a court house, jail, ahns 
house, an East India Museum, a lyceum, 
and a market house. There are two libra- 
ries, containing about 10,000 volumes, 
and three semi- weekly and two weekly pa- 
pers. There are a large number of very 
respectable schools, and no people in the 
United States pay more attention to the 
education of their children. The East 
India Museum was established by a socie- 
ty, incorporated in 1801, of persons that 
had sailed round Cape Horn or the Cape 
of Good Hope. One of their objects was 
to promote a knowledge of trade and navi- 
gation to the East Indies.

SOUTH CARCI.I]SrA,one 

of the United States, bounded N. by 
North Carolina, SE. by the Atlantic, and 
SW. and W. by Georgia. It is 200 m. 
long by 125 m. broad, containing about 
30,000 square m. 

The state was first settled in 1670, at 



Port Royal ; and Charleston was perma- 
nently settled in 1680. A grant was made 
as early as 1662, by Charles II. to Lord 
Clarendon and seven others, of the terri- 
tory between N. lat. 31° and 36° 30'. 
The proprietary government was very 
complex and difficult, which was increas- 
ed by the adoption of Mr. Locke's scheme. 
In 1719, the two Carolinas were separa- 
ted, and organized under the royal gov- 
ernment. Ill 1695, Governor Smith in- 
troduced the cultivation of rice, and cotton 
followed soon after — two very important 
events in the history of the state. South 
Carolina suffered much in contests with 
the Indians, and also in the revolution, in 
which she became distinguished. 

The surface of the country along the 
coast, and extending 100 miles into the 
interior, is a level plain. W. of this, the 
surface rises into ranges of little sand 
hills, resembling the waves of the ocean, 
which extend 50 or 60 miles. Beyond 
this, the country exhibits a fine belt of 
rich and well cultivated soil called the 
Ridge, extending from the Savannah to 
Broad r. ; and all W. and NW. is a beau- 
tiful luxuriant country, resembling the 
finest sections of the northern states. The 
western limit of the state is mountainous. 
The soil of South Carolina is divided 
into six classes : — 1. The tide swamp ; 2. 
Inland swamp ; 3. High river swamp, 
or low grounds ; 4. Salt marsh ; 5. Oak 
and hickory highland; 6. Pine barren. 
The first and second classes are particu- 
larly adapted to rice and hemp ; the third 
to corn, hemp and indigo ; the fifth is 
very fertile, and adapted to the cultivation 
of corn, indigo and cotton. The pine 
barrens are not much cultivated. Cotton 
and rice are the great staple commodities, 
large quantities of which are annually 
exported. Very little cotton was raised 
in the state previous to 1795. 

The winters are mild, and the seasons 
of vegetation commence as early as Janu- 
ary and February, and continue till Octo- 
ber or November. Snow often covers the 
mountains, but is seldom seen in the 
plains. For seven years in Charleston, 
the thermometer was not known to rise 
above 93°, or to fall below 17°. In the 
low country the inhabitants are much sub- 
ject to fevers in the summer season ; but 
in the more elevated regions, the air is as 
salubrious as in any part of the United 
States. The characteristics of the inhabi- 
tants of South Carolina are public spirit, 
hospitality and benevolence. 

The principal rivers are the Great Pe- 
dee, Santee, Savannah, Edisto, Congaree 
and Wateree.

The principal towns are Charleston, 
which is the largest, Georgetown, Co- 
lumbia, the capital, Beaufort and Cam- 
den. 

The Legislature is composed of a Sen- 
ate and House of Representatives. Sen- 
ators are chosen for four years — represen- 
tatives for two years. The governor is 
chosen by the Legislature for two years. 
His salary is $3,500. 

The principal denominations of Chris- 
tians are Presbyterians, Baptists, Metho- 
dists and Episcopalians. 

Education is encouraged by an annual 
appropriation for that purpose. The 

[)rincipal literary institutions are the Col- 
ege of S. Carolina, at Columbia, founded 
in 1804, which has nine instructors, an 
average of 150 students, and 10,000 vol- 
umes in the library; and Charleston Col- 
lege, founded in 1785, which has seven 
instructors, and an average of 65 students.

Internal Improvements. — The Santee 
Canal extends from Charleston harbor to 
the Santee r. 22 miles; finished in 1802; 
cost $650,607. By this canal, and the 
improvement of the Santee and Congaree 
rs. a water communication has been open- 
ed from Charleston to Columbia. 

The Catawba r. has been improved by 
five short canals, amounting in all to IH 
miles. 

Saluda Canal, from the Saluda Shoals 
to Granby Ferry, on the Congaree, 6 m. 

There are several other small canals 
constructed to avoid obstructions in the 
rivers. 

The South Carolina Rail Road, extends 
from Charleston to Hamburg, on the Sa- 
vannah r. ; length 136 miles ; completed 
in 1833. 

The great project of forming a rail road 
communication from Charleston to Cin- 
cinnati and Louisville, on the Ohio r. has 
been undertaken; charters have been pro- 
cured from the several states, surveys 
made, and a considerable portion of the 
subscriptions paid in. The distance in a 
straight line between Charleston and Cin- 
cinnati is 520 miles. The distance on the 
route of the proposed road is 607 miles, 
as follows :— From Cincinnati to Cum- 
berland Gap, 210 miles; thence to the 



junction of French Broad r. 52 miles ; 
thence by French Broad and Saluda rs. 
to Columbia, S. C. 215 miles; thence to 
Charleston, 130 miles : total, 607 miles. 

There have also been three routes ex- 
plored, for the purpose of connecting the 
Atlantic with the Mississippi. 

1. " The northern route of the Atlantic 
and Mississippi Rail Road," from Mem- 
phis, Te. to Charleston, S. C. 740 miles ; 
estimated cost, $15,000,000. 

2. The southern route, from Memphis, 
Te. to Savannah, Ga. 700 miles ; estima- 
ted cost, $12,000,000. 

3. The Chesapeake and Mississippi 
Rail Road, from Memphis to Chesapeake 
Bay. Examined from Memphis to the 
easterly base of the Cumberland Moun- 
tains, near the confluence of Holston and 
Clinch rivers, 356 miles — more than one- 
third the entire route. Estimated cost of 
the part surveyed, $6,500,000.

TENNESSEE R. an important tribu- 
tary of the Ohio, formed principally by 
two main branches, Holston and Clinch 
rs. in Tennessee, which rise in the Alle- 
ghany Mountains in the S W. part of Va. 
It thence flows S. into Alabama, crosses 
the N. part of that state, and again enters 
39 



Tennessee ; crossing the state N. it enters 
Kentucky, and falls into the Ohio r. 57 
m. above its mouth, and 13 m. below the 
mouth of Cumberland r. Its entire length 
is about 1,200 m. ; for near 1,001) m. it is 
navigable, having but few obstructions. 
Its principal head branches are Clinch, 
Holston, French Broad, Nolachucky, 
Tellico and Richland rs. It flows through 
a country the greater part of which is re- 
markable for its fertility. 

TUNNESSHi:, one of the U. 
States, bounded N. by Kentucky and 
Virginia, E. by North Carolina, S. by 
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and 
W. by Arkansas and Missouri. It is 
430 m. long by 104 broad, containing 
40,000 square m. 

The earliest permanent settlement was 
made in 1757, by the erection of Fort 
Loudon. Between 1765 and 1770, settle- 
ments were made on the Holston r. by 
inhabitants from Virginia and N. Caro- 
lina, which were much harassed by In- 
dian warfare. The territory continued to 
form a part of North Carolina until 1790, 
when it was organized into a separate 
territorial government, which continued 
until 1796, when a state constitution was 
formed ; and on the 1st June of the same 
year, Tennessee was admitted into the 
Union as an independent state. 

The state is divided into East and West 
Tennessee by the Cumberland Mountains, 
which extend in a NE. and SW. direc- 
tion. The E. part is hilly, and rises to 
the chain of mountains which form the 
eastern boundary of the state. These are 
known by the names of Stone, Unaka, 
Bald, and Iron or Smoky Mountains. 
The middle and western parts of the state 
are level and undulating. The soil is ex- 
ceedingly various. The valleys in the 
eastern section are very fertile, containing 
large proportions of lime. In the middle, 
much of the land is of an indiff'erent 
quality. In the west it is rich and pro- 
ductive. 

The principal rivers are the Tennessee, 
Cumberland, Clinch, Holston, Forked 
Deer, Big Hatchee, Obion and French 
Broad. 

The climate is generally healthy. The 
winters are mild, and the summers are 
pleasant. 

Cotton is the staple production. Wheat, 
corn, rye and barley are also raised. 
There are no extensive manufactories; 
but iron, cotton and hemp have been man- 
ufactured to a considerable extent. 

Some of the most remarkable features in 
the state, are the bold and picturesque 
scenery of the mountains, with their lofty

towns in the state. Its increase in wealth, 
trade, and manufactures, has been very 
great, especially since the completion of 
the Erie Canal. It is 96 m. W. of Alba- 
ny, 140 E. of Rochester, by canal, and 
202 E. of Buffalo. It contains 16 houses 
of public worship, some of which are 
very elegant, 3 banks, and numerous re- 
ligious, benevolent, and literary institu- 
tions, including lyceums, libraries, aca- 
demies, and various seminaries in which 
the higher branches of education are 
taught. Many of the dwellings are ve- 
ry beautiful. The stores are numerous, 
and well built. All the varieties of me- 
chanical and manufacturing industry are 
actively employed. The hotels are large, 
and well conducted. There are six week- 
ly papers, three of them religious. Nu- 
merous canal boats are constantly arri- 
ving and departing, loaded with freight 
and merchandise. A rail road from Sche- 
nectady terminates here, and another to 
Syracuse will shortly be in operation. 
The Utica & Schenectady Rail Road was 
opened on the 25th July, 1836. The dis- 
tance is 77 m. The first trip was made, 



exclusive of stoppages, in 3 hours 28 
minutes. The population of the city has 
increased very rapidly. In 1820, it was 
2,972; 1825, 5,040; 1830, 8,323; 1835,

fore by the French. In 1731 the French 
made a settlement at Crown Point, and 
built a fort. New York and New Hamp- 
shire both laid claim to the territory of 
Vermont, giving rise to many disputes, 
which were protracted until the revolution. 
In 1778 a constitution was adopted, and 
Vermont declared to be an indepen- 
dent state. In 1791, she was admitted 
into the Union. Vermont bore a distin- 
guished part in the revolution. Her 
troops were. called the " Green Mountain 
boys." 

The Green Mountains, from which Ver- 
mont receives her name, on account of the 
evergreens which cover them, range 
through the centre of the state from S. to 
N. They are from 12 to 15 miles wide, 
and completely covered with wood and 
shrubs. On the tops the trees are small, 
and diminish into shrubbery of spruce 
and hemlock. Thesummits of the moun- 
tains are generally broken and rocky, and 
the sides in many places precipitous. 
The highest elevations are Killington 
Peak, near Rutland; Camel's Rump, be- 
tween Burlington and Montpelier; and 
Mansfield Mountain, which rise from 
3,500 to 4,000 feet above tide. 

The principal rivers are the Connecti- 
cut, (which forms the E. boundary.) On- 
ion, La Moille, Missinqua, and Oiter cr 
which fall into Lake Champlain, and 
White, Pasumpsic and West rs. which 
flow into the Connecticut. Lake Mem- 
phremagog is in the N. part of the state. 

The chief towns are Burlington, Mid- 
dlebury, Windsor, Bennington, Brattle- 
boro', and Montpelier, the capital. 

The climate is cold and severe in win- 
ter, but the air is pure and healthy. The 
soil in many parts is fertile, but it is chief- 
ly appropriated to raising stock. Large 
nocks of the finest sheep are to be seen on 
the rich pastures, and great quantities of 
wool are annually produced. Since the 
completion of the Champlain Canal, much 
of the trade finds its way to New York. 
There is also considerable trade with 
Montreal. Iron exists in great abun- 
dance. Lead, zinc and copper are found 
in many parts of the state. 

The principal denominations of Chris- 
tians are Congregalionalists and Baptists, 
of which the former are the most numer- 
ous. 

The Legislature consists of a Senate 
and House of Representatives. The Sen- 
ate has 30 members — the House has one 
representative from each town. They 
are all elected annually. The governor 
is elected annually, with a salary of $750. 

There are three colleges in the state : — 



The University of Vermont, at Burling- 
ton, founded in 1791, which contains 
9,000 volumes in the college and students' 
libraries ; Middlebury College, founded 
in 1800, with libraries of 6,000 volumes; 
and Norwich University, founded 1834. 
Considerable attention is paid to the gen- 
eral education of the young. The schools 
are supported by yearly taxes, and a fund 
is now accumulating, the income of which 
is to be applied to supporting free schools. 

Population at different periods: in 1790, 
85,539; 1800, 154,465; 1810, 217,895; 
18-20, 235,764 ; 1830, 280,657. 

Internal Improvements. — Except some 
small canals for the improvement of the 
Cormecticut river, no canal or rail road 
has yet been constructed in this state. In 
1835, the following rail road companies 
were incorporated : 

" Vermont Central Rail Road Compa- 
ny," for a rail road from Lake Champlain 
along the valley of Onion r. to a point on 
the Connecticut r. to meet a projected rail 
road through New Hampshire, by way 
of Concord, to Boston. 

The Brattleboro' and Bennington Rail 
Road Company; the Connecticut and 
Pasumpsic River Rail Road Company; 
and the Rutland and Connecticut River 
Rail Road Company.

VIRGIMTIAjoneofthe United 
States, bouncfed N. and NE. by Pennsyl- 
vania and Maryland, E. by the Atlantic, 
S. by North Carolina and Tennessee, and 
W. and NW. by Kentucky. It is the 
largest state in the Union. Its average 
length E. and W. is 355 miles; average 
breadth 190 miles, comprising an area of 
65,600 square miles. 

Virginia, sometimes called the " An 
cient Dominion," was the first settled of 
all the American colonies, and was named 
in honor of Elizabeth the virgin queen. 
James river was discovered in 1607, by 
an expedition under Captain Newport, 
accompanied by the celebrated Captain 
Smith. They fonmed a settlement at 
Jamestown, and suffered much by famine 
and the hostilities of the Indians. Smith 
was taken prisoner, and when about to 
be executed, he was saved by the interpo- 
sition of Pocahontas, the king's daughter. 
Such were the sufferings of the colonists, 
that the remnant which remained were on 
the eve of departure for England in 1610, 
when the timely arrival of lord Delaware 
prevented it. In 1620, a Dutch vessel ar- 
rived in James river with 20 African 
slaves, which was the first introduction of 
slavery into the North American colonies. 
In 1622, the Indians made a sudden and 
desperate attack upon the settlers, and 
347 whites, including women and chil- 
dren, were dreadfully massacred. A se- 
vere and vindictive war followed this 
aggression, all improvements were for a 
while suspended, and the colonists, re- 
duced and harassed, were again disposed 
to abandon the country. Relief was im- 
mediately despatched from England, and 
the direction of affairs was confided to a 
governor and council appointed by the 
king. After various vicissitudes, the 
colony settled down into tranquillity, and 
the settlements had extended beyond the 
mountains, when in 1753 the French 
made hostile encroachments, which again 
involved the colony in the calamities of 
war. It was during this war that the 
youthful Washington first distinguished 
himself, and gave presage of that renown 
which attended his future career. Be- 
sides the Father of his Country, Virginia 
gave birth to many illustrious citizens 
and statesmen, who bore a conspicuous 
part in the revolution, and added to the 
glory of their native state in the noble 
efforts she made throughout the great 
struggle for liberty. In 1776 a constitu- 



tion was formed; which was revised in 
1830, by a convention, over which the 
venerable ex-president Madison presided. 
Of the eight presidents of the United 
States, Virginia has given four. 

The surface of the slate presents several 
parallel chains of mountains, commencing 
about 180 miles from the sea, and running 
in a SW. direction. The Alleghanies 
have their widest base in this state, occu- 
pying the central region from 80 to 100 
miles in breadth. Between these ridges 
are valleys of the greatest fertility. The 
eastern section is generally level, the soil 
sandy, and not very productive, except 
along the rivers, which is exceedingly fer- 
tile. Above the falls of the rivers, the 
land is better, and admits of profitable 
cultivation. The section west of the Al- 
leghanies is mountainous and broken, 
interspersed with rich valleys and lime- 
stone country ; a large portion of which 
is covered with forest trees. The climate 
is diversified according to the face of the 
country. In the low alluvial parts, it is 
hot and unhealthy ; the summers are long 
and oppressive, and the winters mild and 
agreeable. In the mountainous districts, 
the weather is considerably colder, and 
the air more salubrious. 

Iron ore, lead, coal and gypsum, abound 
in the mountain region, and gold has been 
obtained in the eastern part of the state, 
between the Potomac and James rivers — 
chiefly in Spottsylvania co. and neigh- 
borhood. Salt springs are numerous. 
There are many mineral springs in the 
mountains, and hot springs in Bath county 
and neighborhood. Among the natural 
curiosities of Virginia, the greatest are 
Weyers cave, and the natural bridge. 
The former is in Augusta county, and 
was discovered in 1806, by a hunter, 
whose name it bears. The splendor and 
magnificence of its halls and apartments 
exceed all description. The natural 
bridge, or rock bridge, is formed by a 
great rock thrown across an enormous 
chasm about 200 feet deep. The bridge 
is 60 feet wide at top, and covered with 
trees. There is another natural bridge 
in the SW. part of the state, but of much 
less size and proportion. There is also 
another cave on Jackson river, near 
Covington, of greater extent, but less 
beautiful than "Weyers cave. 

The chief agricultural productions are 
tobacco, wheat, and Indian corn. In the 
east part nearly all the labor is performed 
by slaves. Tliere is not much attention 
paid to manufactures. There are some 
cotton factories, and a considerable quan- 
tity of salt is manufactured yearly.

The most numerous religious sect are 
the Baptists. There are, also, a large 
number of Presbyterians, Methodists, and 
Episcopalians. 

The principal rivers in Virginia, are 
the Potomac, Shenandoah, James, Rap- 
pahannock, York, Mattapony, Pamunky, 
Staunton, Great Kanawha, Little Kana- 
wha, and Monongahela. The chief 
towns are, Richmond, the capital, Nor- 
folk, Petersburg, Wheeling, Fredericks- 
burg, Lynchburg, Williamsburg, York- 
town, and Portsmouth. 

Mount Vernon, celebrated as the resi- 
dence of Washington, is on the western 
shore of the Potomac, 15 m. below Wash- 
ington City. His tomb is a simple exca- 
vation in the side of a bank, walled with 
brick, and overgrown with cedars. 

The Legislature consists of a Senate 
and House of Representatives. The 
senators are chosen for 4 years, the re- 
presentatives annually. The governor 
is elected for 3 years, and receives a sa- 
lary of S3,333 33. 

There are five colleges in the state. 
William & Mary College, at Williams- 
burg, founded 1693, has 4,500 volumes in 
the library ; Hampden Sidney College, 
Prince Edward county, founded 1783, 
has 8,500 volumes in the library ; Wash- 
ington College, at Lexington, founded 
1812, has 1,500 volumes ; the Universi- 
ty of Virginia, at Charlottesville, found- 
ed 1819, has about 11,000 volumes; and 
Randolph-Macon College, at Boydton, 
founded 1832. There are three Theolo- 
gical schools or departments : one at 
Richmond, one in Prince Edward county, 
and one in Fairfax county. There is a 
school fund of about S'l, 580,000, produ- 
cing an annual revenue of near ^80,000. 
Of the expenditure for education, S45,000 
only, are given to the common schools, 
the balance to the University. The 
number of banks in the state, according 
to a letter of the secretary of the treasu- 
ry, dated January 4, 1837, was four, 
with eighteen branches, and a capital of 
S6,71 1,300.

expense for support, at about $100,000. 
Poor houses, with farms, are erected in 
about one fourth of the counties ; in the 
others the paupers are allowed a certain 
sum for their support. The annual ex- 
pense of each pauper in the poor houses 
is from 30 to .^40, while those otherwise 
supported, cost from 40 to $80 a year.

The James River and Kenawha Com- 
pany, was incorporated in 1832, with a 
capital of $5,000,000, to connect the James 
r. with the Kenawha by means of a canal

communication between the Ohio r. and 
the Atlantic. The state has subscribed 
near $2,000,000 of the capital. The com- 
pany commenced operations in 1835. 
The state has also subscribed $250,000 
to the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. 

Large sums have been expended by in- 
corporated companies for the navigation

In addition to the above, about 20 rail 
road companies have been incorporated 
in 1835 and 1836, embracing a capital of 
nearly $13,000,000, but as the greater 
portion of them will not probably be 
commenced for some years to come, they 
are not here inserted.

WASHINGTON City, in the District 
of Columbia, the seat ef the general gov- 



ernment, is situated on the NE. side of 
Potomac river, near the head of tide, and 
about 125 miles from its mouth, and 295 
from the ocean. The plan of the city is 
admirably laid out for the display of the 
public buildings. The avenues are 10 in 
number, and named after different states. 
These diverge from two principal centres, 
at one of which is the President's house, 
and at the other the capitol. The smaller 
streets generally cross each other at right 
angles. The Pennsylvania avenue, 
which is beautifully adorned with trees, 
forms a direct communication between 
the capitol and the President's house. 
The city is laid out on a plan embracing 
upwards of 8 square miles, but the build- 
ings occupy but a small portion of that 
surface, and are much scattered. 

The capitol is a splendid edifice, of the 
Corinthian order, built of white freestone. 
Its dimensions are as follows : 

Length of front, 350 ft. 

Depth of wings, 121 

East projection, 65 

West do. 83 

Height of wings, 70 

Height of centre dome, 120 

Length of representatives' hall, 95 
Height of do. 60 

Length of senate chamber, 74 

Height of do. 42 

Height of rotunda, 90 

Diameter of do. 90 

Cost of the building, upwards of 
i2,000,000. 

The capitol contains several pieces of 
sculpture, a fine library of 25,000 volumes, 
and the national paintings, by Trumbull. 
The square on which it is situated, con- 
tains 22i acres, and is enclosed by a sub- 
stantial iron railing. 

The President's house is a beautiful 
building of freestone. 170 feet long by 85 
wide, and two stories high, with a high 
basement, ornamented with a circular 
Ionic portico. It is about a niile west of 
the capitol. 

There are several other large buildings 
for the accommodation of the departments 
of the treasury, secretary of state, patent 
office, general |)ost office, &c. There are 
also, in the city and suburbs, an extensive 
navy yard, marine barracks, an armory, 
and a penitentiary. Columbian college is 
situated a mile N. of the President's 
house. It has 8 professors, and 4,000 
volumes in the library. The population 
of Washington City, in 1820, was 13,247; 
in 18.30, 18,333. It will probably never 
be a city of much commercial importance, 
owing its advantages almost entirely to 
its being the seat of the national govern-

ment; but its population is constantly and 
rapidly increasing. In the winter, during 
the session of Congress, it is a place of 
much fashion and gaiety. 

The city was laid out under the direc- 
tion of Washington, while President. 
The seat of government was removed 
there from Philadelphia, in 1800, and it 
was incorporated in 1802. In August, 
1814, the capitol. President's house, and 
public offices were burnt by the British, 
under General Ross, together with the 
valuable public library. The public build- 
ings were rebuilt soon after the war. The 
capitol is in N. lat. 38° 52' 54"; W. long, 
from Greenwich, 77' 1' 48".

WEST Point, Orange co. N. Y. the 
seat of the United States Military Acad-

From the singular projection of this point 
the river is here but half a mile wide; a 
chain was stretched across in the revolu- 



tionary war, to prevent the passage ofthe 
enemy's ships. This was protected by 
fort Clinton, which was erected on the 
eminence, 188 feet high; and on an island 
near the opposite bank of the river, other 
batteries were erected. Back of fort Clin- 
ton, and on a still higher point, 598 feet 
above the river, fort Putnam was erected, 
which covered the works below, and 
commanded the river. This strong po- 
sition, so important to the Americans, 
was equally desired by the British. To 
deliver this fortress and all the garrison 
into tlie hands of the enemy, was the ob- 
ject of Arnold's treason, for which the un- 
fortunate Andre suffered. The plain on 
which the academy, barracks, &c. are 
situated, covers about 250 acres of land. 
There is an excellent hotel kept in the 
best manner, for the accommodation of 
visiters. The academy was Cotablished 
in 1802. The number of cadets is lim- 
ited to 250, who are destined for officers 
ofthe army. Their age on admission 
must be between 14 and 22. The cost 
of each cadet to government is about 335 
dollars annually. They encamp about 8 
weeks during the year. There are 30 
professors and instructors, and the course 
of study occupies 4 years. A chaste mar- 
ble monument bearing the name of 
Kosciusko, erected by the pupils, stands 
on the bank near the river.

WHITE Mountains-, N. H. a rid^e 
with several important elevations, extends 
in the southern part of the state ;' the high- 
est of which is called Moosehillock, and 
is upwards of 4,600 feet high. In Coos co. 
in the northern part of the state, the White 
Mountains reach their greatest elevation. 
They are the highest mountains in the 
U. S. except the Rocky Mountains, and 
are celebrated for their bold and magnifi- 
cent scenery. Mount Washington, the 
loftiest summit, is 6,42S feet above the le- 
vel of the sea, and is composed of im- 
mense rocks of granite and gneiss, fantas- 
tically heaped up by nature. The view 
from the top is indescribably sublime and 
beautiful. The highest summits are cov- 
ered with snow the greater part of the 
year. They are sometimes seen from the 
sea 60 m. distant. The other principal 
eminences are Mounts Adams, Jefferson, 
Madison, Monroe, Franklin, and Pleas- 
ant, which are from 4.340 to 5,385 feet 
high. A remarkable feature is a gap, 
called The Notch, which forms a passage 
between these rugged steeps, by which 
travellers may ascend to the top of Mount 
Washington.
